My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Cradley Heath. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cradley Heath 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 purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Cradley Heath I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cradley Heath for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
