My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Aberporth. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

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 Aberporth 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 purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

The lawyers conducting our conveyancing in Aberporth has forwarded papers to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HMLR?

Although the vast majorities of properties in Aberporth are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Aberporth that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Aberporth property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Aberporth conveyancing lawyers should be capable of dealing with such matters but where uncertainty exists the conventional proposition nowadays is for the seller to register the title first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this will predictably result in a significant delay.
