It is is a decade since I bought my home in Sawtry. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sawtry involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sawtry is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Sawtry are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sawtry you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sawtry may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
