Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Goodwick. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?
You should 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 Goodwick and other areas of 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 buyers.

I invested in buying a studio flat in Goodwick, conveyancing having been completed in 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Goodwick with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2092
With only 66 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as costs.
