Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Accrington are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Accrington that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Accrington property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Accrington conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty reigns the standard recommendation nowadays seems to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register it first and thereafter deal with the sale conveyance - this will have a domino effect to result in a prolonged conveyancing.
