Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to to identify solicitors on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Tiverton?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Tiverton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 Tiverton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Tiverton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Tiverton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tiverton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tiverton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I want to rent out my leasehold flat in Tiverton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Tiverton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I bought a leasehold flat in Tiverton, conveyancing formalities finalised February 2012. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Tiverton with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2073
With only 51 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £30,400 and £35,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
