Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian house in Farnworth. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Farnworth and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Farnworth before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Nationwide. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant bank.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Farnworth

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Farnworth conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Farnworth basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Farnworth conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Farnworth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

    In the main the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Farnworth obliged tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major works. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? The answer will be important as a) areas could result in problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to have full disclosure
