Thank you for getting back to me. The title number is SGL413500. There wasn't a problem 17 years ago when I bought the flat and nothing has changed during that time, apart from getting the mortgage paid off.

Morecat - many thanks. That's a closed title now and it seems that it was closed back in 2002 when the title deeds were lost and replaced. When that happens a new title is allocated and the correct one is SGL633480
The freehold title refers to the old title number still hence the issue raised by your buyer. I assume that was overlooked at the time and not updated
I can't see any recorded request/application submitted so may be something to contact your conveyancer on to query whether they have done so as yet?
Alternatively you can use our
online contact form to submit the details and ask us to investigate/amend as appropriate.
Let me know if you do the latter by posting and I can trace the contact and add some details to assist colleagues
