I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Gloucester. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gloucester and other areas of 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 question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Gloucester I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gloucester suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Newport but reside in Gloucester. My conveyancer (who is 300 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Gloucester to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Gloucester based
