It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Earley. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Earley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Earley but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Earley conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Earley bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Earley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Earley agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Earley. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal 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 survey, Earley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Earley.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Earley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Earley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Earley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Earley may decide 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.

We are in the process of purchasing a home in Earley. Conveyancing is not yet done but we wish to keep the amount we are are buying for a secret from sites such as Rightmove. Is this possible and how?
HMLR by statute are obliged to disclose price sold information on the official title for domestic properties countrywide which includes properties in Earley. The Title Register is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaking the law if they failed to grant access to the register.
You can make a request of HMLR to hide the amount paid entry yet the answer would be a No.
