It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Brown Edge. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Brown Edge relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Brown Edge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Brown Edge approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Brown Edge tend to purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Brown Edge or who has acted in the same development.
