The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Dawlish has forwarded papers to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all houses in Dawlish are registered?
Whilst most properties in Dawlish are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Dawlish that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Dawlish property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Dawlish conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the usual guidance presently is for the seller to undertake the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
