We’re buying a 1930 semi-detached house owned by the current owner since 1938, but we’ve hit a big problem. The house has two titles – a leasehold (only 10 years left) and a freehold, both held by the same owner.<br> <br> The owner only has a “good leasehold”, not an absolute title, and before that, the house belonged to an agency. There are issues with the deeds(missing) that could affect the purchase.<br> <br> Anyone with experience in leasehold/freehold issues or tricky property deeds – we’d really appreciate your advice!

Sami - you are very unlikely to get any wider responses on this forum as it is not the same as other online forums where users chip in with experience/guidance<br> Do rely on your conveyancer/legal rep here to unravel any complexities for you
