Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Mayfield. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?
You need to 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 Mayfield and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Mayfield I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mayfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I've found a house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just been informed that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Mayfield. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Mayfield ?
The majority of houses in Mayfield are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Mayfield in which case you should be shopping around for a Mayfield conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is located on an estate. Your lawyer should advise you fully on all the issues.
