It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Merseyside. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who oversaw your 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 obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Merseyside involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Merseyside. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Merseyside

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Merseyside is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Merseyside are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Merseyside you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Merseyside may ascertain 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 premises.

We are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Merseyside, and are about to get solicitors appointed. I have utilised the different comparison based websites and the results are from all across the England and Wales. Is it advisable to have a Merseyside conveyancer local to your potential house? We are content to do all the communicating over the internet, but I guess at some stage we will be required to visit the lawyer's office to sign papers?

Generally there is no requirement to attend the office of your lawyer, they can send any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers prefer to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Merseyside.
