It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Burntwood. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they could be archived with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Burntwood involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Burntwood?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Burntwood. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Burntwood is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Burntwood are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burntwood 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.

Our offer on property in Burntwood has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have submitted an offer on a property, although it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Burntwood conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
