The conveyancing solicitors carrying out our conveyancing in Southwold has sent papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HMLR?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Southwold are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Southwold that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Southwold property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Southwold conveyancing lawyers will be capable of dealing with such matters but in the event that uncertainty prevails the standard proposition these days appears to be for the seller to register the title first and thereafter deal with the transfer to the buyer - this undoubtedly result in a prolonged conveyancing.
