Even where you use a solicitor outside Llandough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llandough may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
