It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Thames View. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Thames View involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
What can a local search tell me about the house we're purchasing in Thames View?
Thames View conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search plays a central part in many a Thames View conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject headings.
I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Thames View. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thames View and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

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.
