It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Tonyrefail involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a residence in Tonyrefail? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Tonyrefail?
Unless a prior purchase of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Tonyrefail to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
