Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian house in Pontypridd. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review 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 Pontypridd and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I've recently found out 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 straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Pontypridd is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Pontypridd are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pontypridd you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pontypridd 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 residence.

Am I best advised to appoint a Pontypridd conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities however his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Pontypridd conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Pontypridd know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were content that must trump using an unknown Pontypridd conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pontypridd. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Pontypridd - 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.
I acquired a ground floor flat in Pontypridd, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Pontypridd with a long lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2080
With just 55 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
