I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Woore. What can I do to speed up matters?

In a situation where the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is possible that they would have conducted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Woore conveyancing solicitor. Second, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that nearly one in five of Woore conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Woore conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Woore 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Woore is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Woore are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woore you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woore 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.

The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Woore has sent papers to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Woore are registered?

Almost all property in Woore is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Woore conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with such matters but if any uncertainty exists the usual advice nowadays is for the vendor’s solicitor to address the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this will have a domino effect to cause a significant delay.
