I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Carmarthen for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Carmarthen conveyancing specialists.

I am purchasing my first flat in Carmarthen with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with TSB. Is this normal?.
