My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Westbury. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Westbury and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Westbury. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Westbury - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be built into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Westbury ask leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Are there any major works in the near future that could increase the service costs?
For various reasons I cannot get to my Westbury conveyancing solicitors office to sign documents connected to my conveyancing in Westbury – will this be problematic?
