It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Marston Moretaine. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Marston Moretaine involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would as all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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 until 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.
