Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Marlow. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking HSBC Bank to clarify?

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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Marlow 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 purchasers.

When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Marlow conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Marlow conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm.
