The Winkleigh conveyancing firm handling our Winkleigh conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I have a renovated Georgian property in Winkleigh. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Winkleigh 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 buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Winkleigh I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winkleigh suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
