Land registry mistake

It may be worth making enquiries with the Solicitors Regulation Authority who may know where your defunct solicitor's files ended up.0

Mr steam power .......
I did sign the land registry map , please read the thread properly .
Ps . my new solicitor has advised me to sue my old solicitor
Thankyou for your advise0 -
I'm surprised it wasn't compulsorily registered on transfer in 1997, tbh.
There must have been some historical documentary basis for the 2010 registration to exclude that small part - nobody is going to draw it up and just exclude a small area for fun. Likewise, I find it very hard to see that a solicitor would have had you sign off on a plan that didn't exclude that area, then switched it for one that did before registering.
It was never registered in 2010 pls read thread ...0 -
My bad - so why wasn't it registered in 2010, when it was transferred to you?0

Professional negligence claims are expensive.
I would have thought the best way forward would be to get a new solicitor to help you update the title.
That will cost, but hopefully not too much - cheaper than having a problem when you sell the property and much cheaper than making a professional negligence claim!0 -
It was registered to me but to a 1997 map not an updated map .
JJM2022 titles aren't updated with just a change of map. AdrianC is I suspect asking why wasn't the land included. As inferred land is not excluded unless there is very good reason to. Especially where it's in essence an 'island' within a walled garden.
Totally appreciate the difficulties involved as so many years on and no solicitor records to rely on. And appreciate you not wanting to share title number. Still happy to take a look if you email and mention MSE thread title
We'll pick it up and take a look and post Tuesday when we've had a chance to check any paper records too
Relying on your new solicitor is the way to go and if you've already applied for title but we 'didn't want to know' then it's tackling that angle that you should focus on. If we have rejected the application before then grounds will have been given.“Official Company Representative
