Any property in Woodingdean that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Woodingdean property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Woodingdean conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty exists the prevailing advice presently seems to be for the seller to register the title first and subsequently deal with the disposal - this this chain of events will cause a significant delay.
