Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Amesbury 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Amesbury is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Amesbury are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Amesbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Amesbury may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold flat in Amesbury. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Amesbury who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Amesbury conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

In the main the cost for major works tend not to be included within service charges, although some managing agents in Amesbury ask leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for larger works. This question is useful as a) areas could cause problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to know about it
