Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian property in Witham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Witham 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Witham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Witham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but live in Witham. My lawyer (approximately 200 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Witham who can attest this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Witham
