Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Fenham 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Fenham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Fenham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Fenham 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 Fenham 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 property.
