It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Cannock. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Cannock involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I need some quick conveyancing in Cannock as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts in less than one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not taking a mortgage you are at free not to do searches although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Cannock the following are instances of issues that can appear and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Cannock I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cannock for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Cannock

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Cannock conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.

Do online conveyancing companies undertake everything a high street Cannock solicitor does or do I still need to employ a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Cannock?

Where you use an online conveyancer they will undertake all the tasks your Cannock solicitor will cover.
