Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Lampeter. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second 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 Lampeter and other locations in 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I am buying a new build house in Lampeter with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

There are only Sixty One years remaining on my lease in Lampeter. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Lampeter.

Me and my husband are disposing of a Lampeter bungalow left to us some years ago in 2012. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing know-how and, now retired, intend to undertake the conveyancing. The purchaser's conveyancer has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
