The conveyancing solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Stanmore has forwarded papers to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Stanmore are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Stanmore that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Stanmore 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 Stanmore conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty exists the conventional advice nowadays appears to be for the current owners to register it first and subsequently sell - this will have a domino effect to cause a drawn-out home move.
