I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Llanbedr for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

How does conveyancing in Llanbedr differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Llanbedr approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Llanbedr typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llanbedr or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llanbedr is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Llanbedr are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanbedr you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanbedr 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 residence.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Llanbedr basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Llanbedr conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Llanbedr do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
