It is is a decade since I bought my home in Temple. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may stored with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Temple relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
Will my solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Temple.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Temple. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Temple, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Temple. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an environmental search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Temple registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
