It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Langford. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Langford relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £225,000 garden flat in Langford in 10 days. The management company has quoted £384 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Langford?

Langford conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually involves the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.
