The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in Hornchurch has sent papers to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Hornchurch are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Hornchurch that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Hornchurch 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 Hornchurch conveyancing practitioners will be capable of dealing with such matters but if any uncertainty exists the usual guidance presently is for the seller’s conveyancer to deal with the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
