Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Ferryhill 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Ferryhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ferryhill contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Ferryhill typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ferryhill or who has acted in the same development.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Ferryhill where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Ferryhill conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
