It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Harrold. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Harrold relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Harrold
Do not opt for the lowest Harrold 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.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Harrold registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Flying freeholds in Harrold are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Harrold you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harrold 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.
