Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wombwell costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Wombwell and elsewhere usually warrants more hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, corresponding with the landlord about the service of appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different owners have owned the lease since it was first entered into.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian house in Wombwell. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Virgin Money to clarify?
You should read 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 Wombwell and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies.
