The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Bodmin 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Bodmin prior to retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender.

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary property to a BTL loan with Barnsley Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards further house. The neighborhood we are talking about is Bodmin. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two banks and link together the two deals?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are your conveyancer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you lawyer and communicate your expectations and needs.
I own a leasehold house in Bodmin. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Bodmin who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Bodmin conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I purchased a basement flat in Bodmin, conveyancing formalities finalised October 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Bodmin with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2082
With just 56 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
My mum and dad cant seem to find their Bodmin property on the HM Land Registry site. They have a vague recollection 48 years ago when they acquired the property there were complications regarding Bodmin not being identified on some systems.
Almost all premises in Bodmin should appear. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the residences inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s lender.
