It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Pembroke. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Pembroke relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only be done when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Pembroke or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Pembroke.

Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Pembroke will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

My wife and I have a terraced Georgian house in Pembroke. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Pembroke and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Pembroke is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Pembroke are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pembroke you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pembroke may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
