Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Llanfyrnach. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review 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 Llanfyrnach 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Llanfyrnach. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Llanfyrnach I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehome move in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Swansea but reside in Llanfyrnach. My solicitor (who is 260 miles awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Llanfyrnach to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Llanfyrnach
My husband and I yesterday found out that one of the directors of the firm handling the purchase conveyancing in Llanfyrnach is a relative of the vendor. Is this allowed?
Provided there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are requiring a home loan then the mortgage company may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific requirements concerning this. For example for RBS - Direct Line as of 4/5/2024, the requirements read as follows :
