I am buying a house mortgage free in Hyde Park. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Hyde Park. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Hyde Park conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Hyde Park will be able to give you some practical guidance here.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Hyde Park. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hyde Park involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
