It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Bromsgrove. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bromsgrove involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Bromsgrove to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site over another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My aunt purchased her house in Bromsgrove in 2008. She has since got married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. She now wishes to the sell the Bromsgrove property. I think she will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the property lawyer however she is concerned it will frustrate the house move. Is it worth updating the title details for the house?
You are not required to update the register as long as you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name has come about.
Any buyer’s conveyancer should check the registered details and ask for evidence by way of proof of the name change for example marriage certificates.
