However, if a Hornsea property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Hornsea conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty exists the usual guidance presently seems to be for the seller to deal with the registration formalities first and then sell - this this chain of events will cause a prolonged transaction.
