Me and my brother purchased a renovated Georgian house in Swadlincote. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Barclays Direct to clarify?
You need to read 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 Swadlincote and other locations in 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 your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Swadlincote and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Swadlincote
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Swadlincote conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
