I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Maryland house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Maryland.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Maryland 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to find all the suitable documentation so you can buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Maryland prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not grant a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Maryland. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Maryland to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Maryland. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Maryland who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Maryland conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can I apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Maryland conveyancing firm to assist?

There are numerous properties in Maryland on private lanes. I am acquiring such a property. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a residence on a privately owned road?
Maryland conveyancing practices will be familiar with conveyancing propertieson unadopted roads. The property lawyer should review the Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into for the upkeep of the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear better than council maintained.
