It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Fairbourne. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that 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 acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Fairbourne involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I have been advised by a couple of local selling agents in Fairbourne to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
