The deeds to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Bedford Hill 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bedford Hill is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Bedford Hill are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedford Hill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedford Hill may determine 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.
I'm remortgaging my current house to a BTL loan with Lloyds TSB Bank and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards further property. The location we are looking at is Bedford Hill. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the conveyances?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the solicitor will be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you lawyer and specify your expectations and needs.
