Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Tutbury. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Tutbury and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tutbury is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Tutbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tutbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tutbury 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 property.

Should I be suspicious by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Tutbury conveyancing company?

As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.

I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Tutbury both have approximately 50 years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Tutbury. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Tutbury - Sample of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants enjoy being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. In the main the cost for major works are not incorporated into the service charges, although some managing agents in Tutbury obliged leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major works. Is there a share of the freehold?
