I own a renovated Georgian property in City of Darlington. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess 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 City of Darlington and other locations in 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 lawyer who completed the work.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in City of Darlington I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in City of Darlington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years 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 solicitor regarding this.
