[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 3172454, member: 4505"] Probably irrelevant, but I did know a man who claimed he had inadvertently bought a piece of land sarrounded by private houses with no legal access to it. So he gifted it to the local community rather than go through the hassle of getting the rights. I always wondered about that for the reason exfarmer mentioned. It is illogical that anyone would sell a piece of land with no legal access to it and equally as illogical that someone would buy it. But having had a few dealings with solicitors, I can quite see why a solicitor would have no problems in taking a fee for handling such a transaction! My (now ex) solicitor did some work for me after obtaining the wrong title deeds. Apparently, it is my fault he went ahead on his own initiative and got the wrong deeds from the registry even though he was supplied with more than enough information to get the right ones! Another missed several acres on a land purchase and shrugged his shoulders when I mentioned it. Fortunately, the Law Society of Scotland didn't agree with him. That problem was resolved by taking out an insurance policy against the possibility of a dispute in the future, which the solicitor paid for. Yes, by all means OP, read the deeds yourself. The fact that you are on here proves that you have no problem with joined up writing and some solicitors do find that challenging. Even my (ex) accountant made a 100% error in adding up his own bill -- in his favour, of course! [/QUOTE]
