Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Penllergaer. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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 Penllergaer 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 purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Penllergaer I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Penllergaer in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Penllergaer. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Penllergaer - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Penllergaer, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Penllergaer with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2081

With only 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
