It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Deddington. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Deddington relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Deddington is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Deddington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Deddington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Deddington 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 premises.
