It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Buckden. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Buckden involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Buckden 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

My uncle has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Buckden. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Buckden. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Buckden - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
