It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Rhiwbina. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Rhiwbina involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
I need some quick conveyancing in Rhiwbina as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts inside 2 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not obtaining a mortgage you are at free not to have searches conducted although no law firm would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Rhiwbina the following are instances of what can appear and therefore impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Rhiwbina concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. 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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Rhiwbina I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rhiwbina in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
