Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Woking or throughout Surrey is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the lender.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Woking 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Woking is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Woking are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woking you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woking may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
