It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Bozeat. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase.

Almost all conveyancing in Bozeat relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Bozeat differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bozeat contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Bozeat tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bozeat or who has acted in the same development.
