Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Tremeirchion. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Tremeirchion and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I am purchasing a new build house in Tremeirchion with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tremeirchion from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tremeirchion can be reduced where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Tremeirchion leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Where you dont have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Tremeirchion home move. Where a reissued share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing.
