Me and my brother have a terraced Victorian house in Longhope. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?

You need to 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 Longhope and other areas of 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Longhope

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Longhope conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.

Last August I purchased a leasehold house in Longhope. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
