Finally the sale completed on my house in Hambleton last May yet the purchaser is calling me complaining that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian property in Hambleton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to 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 Hambleton and other locations in 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 buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Hambleton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hambleton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
