Me and my brother have a semi-detached Victorian house in Aintree. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address.

It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Aintree home move. Where a new share is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring?
