I have a terraced Victorian house in Toton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Toton 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.

It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Toton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Toton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
