Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Brynford relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Brynford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brynford approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Brynford usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Brynford or who has acted in the same development.
