Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Witham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching 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 Witham and other locations in 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 question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Witham I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Witham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
