It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Byfleet. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Byfleet relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Byfleet.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Byfleet. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Byfleet, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Byfleet. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to find out if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s solicitors should also order an enviro search. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Byfleet is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Byfleet are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Byfleet you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Byfleet may ascertain 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.
