Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Llanelli costs more?
Llanelli leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Llanelli. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. 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 for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanelli and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Llanelli I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanelli suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Llanelli. Conveyancing and Britannia mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Llanelli who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Llanelli conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
