What will a local search tell me about the property my wife and I buying in Craven Arms?

The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Craven Arms 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Craven Arms

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Craven Arms is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Craven Arms are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Craven Arms you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Craven Arms 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 property.
