It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in tipton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in tipton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in tipton from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in tipton can be reduced if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. A minority of tipton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a tipton home move. If a duplicate share is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
