We hired a Llandough based lawyer for my conveyancing in Llandough recently. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or appoint an internet lawyer promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Llandough?

It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Llandough. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Llandough relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Llandough is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llandough are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llandough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llandough 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.

I am looking at a couple of flats in Llandough both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
