Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Curdworth. 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 two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 Curdworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am looking at a couple of apartments in Curdworth both have approximately 50 years left on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

Me and my wife are about to exchange on the purchase a property in Curdworth but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancer listed on the bank conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the bank of any variations to the purchase price. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
