The conveyancing solicitors handling our conveyancing in Bingham has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
It is rare for property in Bingham to be unregistered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Bingham conveyancing solicitors should be familiar with such matters but where uncertainty prevails the usual recommendation these days appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this will have a domino effect to result in a significant delay.
