The solicitor who assisted with my previous purchase has quoted just over a thousand pound for freehold conveyancing in Llanddulas. I am selling a Edwardian property for £150,000. This sounds expensive. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Llanddulas?

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Llanddulas. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?
You need to 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 Llanddulas 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 check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Llanddulas I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanddulas suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Llanddulas?
Conveyancing - in Llanddulas or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems prior to you complete your move.
