I own a renovated Edwardian house in Ferndown. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?

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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ferndown and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Ferndown, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Ferndown with an extended lease are worth £255,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2098

With 73 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.

I pay a service charge for my first floor flat in Ferndown. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a payment plan but there is still two outstanding at the current time.

I want to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?

The solicitor dealing with your Ferndown sale will hopefully be in a position to negotiate with the appropriate parties, with a new to seeing if they would accept payment from sale proceeds. This is indicative of why it might be good to choose a solicitor in Ferndown as they are likely to have a strong line of communication with the management company.
