My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Solva. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to 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 Solva and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Solva.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Solva should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Solva conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Solva. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Notwithstanding that your last Solva conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
