Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in Cardigan. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 Cardigan 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 check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cardigan is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Cardigan are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cardigan you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cardigan may decide 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 property.
Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Cardigan I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thetransaction ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Cardigan.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Cardigan should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cardigan. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Cardigan - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Best to be warned whether window replacement or some other major work is coming up to be shared amongst the leaseholders and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or result in a specific invoice. You will want to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will either make your living at the property much easier or uncomfortable. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues like the tidiness of the communal areas. Ask prospective neighbours what they think of their service. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and specifically what you get for your money. Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that could increase the service charges?
