Although most properties in Lanchester are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Lanchester that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Lanchester 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 Lanchester conveyancing lawyers will be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty prevails the prevailing advice these days appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to undertake the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this this chain of events will result in a significant delay.
