Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Preston Park 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Preston Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Preston Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Preston Park 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 Preston Park 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 premises.
