Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in South Acton 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I was advised by a couple of local estate agents in South Acton to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over another?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Acton. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in South Acton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in South Acton. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a South Acton premises is 169 Southfield Road in September 2013. the tribunal decided that the premium to be paid in respect of the collective enfranchisement should be £51,203 This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 64.64 years.
How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in South Acton?
Where a South Acton property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal you would just need to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is missing from the conveyance, typically this is in the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name removed from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
