My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Kidsgrove. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review 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 Kidsgrove and other locations in 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 position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Kidsgrove I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kidsgrove in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Should I go with a Kidsgrove conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can deal with the legal formalities but his firm is located 300kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a high street Kidsgrove conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Kidsgrove know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unfamiliar Kidsgrove conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £225,000 garden flat in Kidsgrove next Wednesday. The managing agents has quoted £396 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Kidsgrove?

Kidsgrove conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
