Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Aberporth. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Lloyds TSB Bank to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Aberporth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Aberporth is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Aberporth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aberporth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aberporth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

We are hoping to buy a 2 room first floor flatin Aberporth with a residential mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Aberporth but our mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our lender panel firms or keep our Aberporth conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Aberporth : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
