We are buying a house and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair to which the property could be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in London Colney

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in London Colney 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I've recently bought a leasehold property in London Colney. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
