It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Kington. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability 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 obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Kington involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Kington took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kington is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kington may determine 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.
Should I use a Kington conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am buying? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities however his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Kington conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Kington know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Kington conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
