Longs story short, my mother is now nearly 90. A while ago we found her place wasn't on the Land Registry. It was bought in 88 & Kings Lynn didn't do LR until 1989. She own it outright.
In short I have all the papers here & my brother & I have an LPA for her. I want some one to do a LR for it. I have phoned a few solicitors but all are "working from home", too busy etc.
I started the LR forms myself but they assume too much knowledge.

Cripps has a good reputation and is Kent based.

I can understand you might want to deliver the deeds in person but there's really no need for the lawyer to be in Kent. Registering unregistered land is one of those things that trainees always get given so make sure whomever you give it to supervises things properly....

Have you considered the option of leaving it unregistered?

There's absolutely no need to register the title, and the vast majority of people who own an unregistered title leave it unregistered so that it's registered by the buyer after it's been sold.

Just make sure the title deeds are stored in a safe place.

Isn't there a slight advantage in registering to help thwart potential future adverse possession claims?

I used Cooper Burnett in Tunbridge wells (recommended by another TW solicitor who works in a different field) and was very happy with them, Lady who dealt with it was Jennifer.

No. there's no realistic risk of an adverse possession claim for an ordinary residential property - I think you'd know if someone had been in occupation of part of your house or garden for the last 12 years!

All you're really doing by registering the title voluntarily is saving the eventual buyer a couple of hundred quid - why bother?
