I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Shepperton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Shepperton has sent documents to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at the Land Registry?

Whilst most properties in Shepperton are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Shepperton that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Shepperton property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Shepperton conveyancing practitioners will be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty exists the conventional advice presently appears to be for the seller to address the registration formalities first and subsequently sell - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
