Amalgamation of title deeds

Thank you Adam. Apologies on my delayed response, I’ve had a few health issues. Could you please confirm that we can amalgamate one property’s title with the other if one property has both the leasehold AND freehold in our names? When we bought the property it had an absent landlord but we were able to purchase the freehold through the courts (which took significant time). I’m aware we can merge these titles to a freehold title but is it possible to amalgamate the two freehold titles at the same time or can we just go straight to amalgamation via AP- as we own all titles in the same capacity? Many thanks in advance. Angela

Hi Angela - I have responded to your further post in the absence of my colleague.&#160;<br> <br> In addition to what my colleague mentioned, I would add that we would only consider amalgamating two titles if they were both held in same legal capacity.&#160; If, as you mention, one title has a leasehold and freehold (presumably other is only freehold) then it adds an additional legal estate which makes amalgamation not straight forward.&#160;

<p>Thank you Nimish. Would you recommend requesting a merger of the leasehold &amp; freehold of the one property first then to make the amalgamation request more straightforward?&#160;</p>

Hi Angela - That is something that you need to discuss with your legal advisor.&#160; It is not something I can tell you.&#160;
