I have a renovated Georgian property in Umberleigh. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address.

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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Umberleigh and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Umberleigh I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Umberleigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
