I own a terraced Edwardian house in Purley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read 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 Purley and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Purley
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Purley conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold house in Purley. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Purley who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Purley conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
