I am buying a right to buy a flat in Kingsley. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Kingsley 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

You no longer need to hold title original deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kingsley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Kingsley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kingsley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingsley 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.

Do I need to be suspicious about third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Kingsley conveyancing firm?

As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be most helpful. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

My dad purchased his flat in Kingsley ten years ago. He has been wed, widowed and is now married again. He will be marketing the apartment this May. I suspect that he will just be asked to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the property lawyer however he is anxious it could delay the sale of the property. Should he appoint a solicitor to update the Land Registry information for the property?

The is no need to update the title for the property as long as you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.

The buyer’s property lawyer will review the registered entries and request evidence by way of proof of the change of name for example marriage documentation.
