I am purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Bestwood who is on the conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for in certain locations such as Bestwood. We dont recommend any particular firm.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Bestwood 4 years ago no longer exist.What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bestwood is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bestwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bestwood 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 Bestwood 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 premises.
