Plenty of Empingham conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the conventional guidance nowadays appears to be for the current owners to register it first and subsequently deal with the disposal - this will have a domino effect to cause a drawn-out conveyancing.
