However, if a Bacup 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 Bacup conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with such matters but where uncertainty prevails the standard recommendation these days is for the current owners to register it first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this will have a knock on effect to result in a prolonged conveyancing.
