Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian property in Kings Lynn. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton 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, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review 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 Kings Lynn and other areas of 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 lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I want to sublet my leasehold apartment in Kings Lynn. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

A small minority of properties in Kings Lynn do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates 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.

I own a studio flat in Kings Lynn, conveyancing was carried out August 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Kings Lynn with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2091

With 67 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

What do I do if I am unhappy with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted my conveyancing in Kings Lynn?

Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and is is a fact of life that every so often things do go wrong. Nevertheless there is recourse if you were not happy with your conveyancing in Kings Lynn. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a conveyancer to their regulator. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
