It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Sowerby Bridge. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Sowerby Bridge is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Sowerby Bridge are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sowerby Bridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sowerby Bridge 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.

Is there a reason that Sowerby Bridge conveyancing charges are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?

Inevitably there is increased work required in leasehold conveyancing. Sowerby Bridge has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
