Unregistered garage

Hello,

I hope I can find someone who can help us. We own a freehold two bedroom coach house which is registered with the Land Registry. The two bed coach house comes with a double garage underneath the property (same building), which is leased to us by Taylor Wimpey for 999 years. We are in the final stages of selling the property and we are one month before completion, when our buyer’s solicitors replied that they couldn’t find the registration number for the garage in the Land Registry. We have contacted the developer (the owner of the garage), which is Taylor Wimpey, and they said they had made the application a few years ago. We don’t know what happened to the application and if there was even a need to register the garage. Our solicitors called for an expedited process regarding the application to the Land Registry but they aren’t sure if it will be approved. We don’t want to lose our buyer and the sale with delays etc., can you please help? 

The title number of our property is 

SYK674707. 

Within our contract for the purchase of this property we have a Land Registry document stating the title number of the property and general info, and it mentions a leasehold garage.

Thank you and kind regards,
Elli

Hello Elli - the title number quoted is the builder's title. What's your postal address/own title number please?

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your prompt reply. My address is 14 Springfields, S60 8DR, Waverley, Rotherham

Hi Elli - many thanks. The property is registered as you state but nothing to confirm any garage lease for example and there's nothing pending against the Taylor W freehold title.
I'd suggest asking the conveyancer to confirm the provisional title number and our case reference for you
SYK708110 - 14
 

Thank you for checking Adam, is there any way to confirm in this case that the garage is actually freehold?

Elli - the garage isn't separately registered so forms part of Taylor W's freehold as a result 

Thank you Adam, I will convey this information to the solicitors. Your help is much appreciated and have a great rest of the day!

Adam, one last question please, is the garage plot 126 (our neighbour’s) that is situated within our building registered? In the contract and the plan, it is indicated as leased.
