I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Bedlington. What can be done to hasten the legal process?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Bedlington conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Bedlington conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being held up by almost 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Bedlington conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Bedlington. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Bedlington involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Bedlington as I have a deadline to sign on the dotted line inside one month. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With plenty of history conveyancing in Bedlington the following are examples of what can appear and adversely affect future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Bedlington 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
