I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in East Croydon. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?
You need to read 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 East Croydon and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in East Croydon I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Croydon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in East Croydon?
East Croydon conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries most will be willing to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
Having spent months of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in East Croydon. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
