Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Berkeley 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Berkeley is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Berkeley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Berkeley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Berkeley 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 property.
What does commercial conveyancing in Berkeley cover?
Commercial conveyancing in Berkeley covers a broad range of guidance, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises.

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.
There are only 72 years unexpired on my flat in Berkeley. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist would be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Berkeley.
