The conveyancers carrying out our conveyancing in Alnmouth has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HMLR?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Alnmouth are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Alnmouth 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 Alnmouth 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 Alnmouth conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty exists the usual guidance presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to deal with the registration formalities first and then sell - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
