It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Chesterton. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Chesterton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Chesterton. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Chesterton solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Virgin Money would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Chesterton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chesterton conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Chesterton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Chesterton approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Chesterton tend to buy 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 Chesterton or who has acted in the same development.
