I have a renovated Victorian property in Bushey. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking to clarify?
You should review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bushey and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Bushey. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bushey I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bushey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Am I best advised to choose a Bushey conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities but her office is 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Bushey conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Bushey know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Bushey conveyancing solicitor just because they are Bushey based.
