I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Penylan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Penylan. Having lived in Penylan for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Penylan for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Penylan conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Penylan I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Penylan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Penylan property on the HMLR online search facility. They recall that 50 years ago when they acquired the house there were complications regarding the address not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of residences in Penylan should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should reveal all the residences inside the postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
