My best friend’s mother is a conveyancer. I suspect that I will receive mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Palmers Green?

It is is a decade since I bought my home in Palmers Green. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Palmers Green involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Palmers Green. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Palmers Green and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
