I have a terraced Edwardian property in Preston Park. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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 Preston Park 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Preston Park is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Preston Park and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial tenants, granting the right to apply to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Preston Park has sent papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Preston Park are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Preston Park that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Preston Park property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Preston Park conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with such matters but where uncertainty reigns the standard recommendation nowadays is for the seller’s conveyancer to deal with the registration formalities first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
