It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Stanwell. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Stanwell involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I completed on my house on 5 May and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Stanwell advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Stanwell particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Stanwell registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
