As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Worplesdon is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Worplesdon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Worplesdon may ascertain 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 residence.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Worplesdon. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Worplesdon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

It would be wise to discover as much as you can about the company managing the block as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day issues like the cleanliness of the common parts. You should not be shy to ask other people if they are happy with them. Finally, be sure you know the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending that money. Who manages the building? If a Worplesdon lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this would cost.

You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is more than ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation if relevant.
