I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Mevagissey. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking to clarify?

You need to read 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 Mevagissey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Mevagissey ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

No doubt it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have recommendations from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.

The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Mevagissey has sent papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HMLR?

Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Mevagissey are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Mevagissey that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Mevagissey 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 Mevagissey conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with such matters but if any uncertainty prevails the standard proposition presently appears to be for the seller to deal with the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this will predictably cause a significant delay.
