It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Leyburn. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Leyburn involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I moved into my home on 7 January and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn said it will be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Leyburn uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Leyburn registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Leyburn is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Leyburn are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leyburn 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.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Leyburn. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
