It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Silverton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Silverton involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Silverton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Silverton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Silverton you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Silverton 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 property.
