The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Coombe Dingle 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Coombe Dingle. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
