It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Loxford. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Loxford involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

What does a local search inform me regarding the house my wife and I purchasing in Loxford?
Loxford conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Searchflow The local search plays a central part in many a Loxford conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic headings.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Loxford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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 am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Loxford. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Loxford - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
