Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Waltham Abbey 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Waltham Abbey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Waltham Abbey come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Waltham Abbey tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Waltham Abbey or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Waltham Abbey is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Waltham Abbey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Abbey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Abbey may ascertain 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 property.
