It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Addington. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Addington relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

Our offer on a detached house in Addington has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Addington. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Addington conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Addington?
Addington conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
