Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Stratford is more expensive?

The conveyancing costs on a leasehold property in Stratford is frequently greater as compared to a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations required in communicating with the freeholder and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and service fee have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Stratford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Stratford 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Stratford leasehold property is £350.

The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.
