Title deeds to the wrong flat? What to do?

I would be more concerned about what happens if e.g. your neighbour defaults on their mortgage and you're the one who gets evicted!Also, I am the only one who knows about this at the moment, and I'm comfy where I am. I am concerned, you will understand, about what the consequences will be when I do bring this up with my solicitor and/or lender.0 -
I would always try to figure it out from the estate agent's details - not always possible but given there are usually floorplans and a multitude of photos these days it shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you've got the right flat.[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Not sure if its the same in Scotland but in England the solicitor does not inspect the property so would not know if its on the east or west side, nor can they tell whether the lease plan matches.[/FONT]0 -
It won't be the first time this has happened, not by a long chalk.
At least you're on the right floor :-)A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
Thanks! Some comfort thinking that this has happened to others. I don't plan to sell for at least 5 years, so it shouldn't get in the way of that... unless I get kicked out first...0

And flat numbering in Scotland being something of a dark art, particularly in Edinburgh.
It really is quite possible for the Land Register, the council tax, the Royal Mail, the electricity and the telephone all to refer to the same flat differently.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0
