We are selling our house in Pembrokeshire. Will the property lawyer need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Pembrokeshire I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pembrokeshire suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Pembrokeshire - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

The conveyancers handling our conveyancing in Pembrokeshire has sent documents to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at the Land Registry?
Although most properties in Pembrokeshire are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Pembrokeshire that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Pembrokeshire property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Pembrokeshire conveyancing practitioners should be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty reigns the standard guidance presently seems to be for the current owners to register it first and then sell - this will have a domino effect to result in a significant delay.
