My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Newmarket. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd 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 Newmarket and other locations in 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 buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Newmarket I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Newmarket suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor about this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Newmarket and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to business tenants, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
