It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Clacton On Sea. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Clacton On Sea involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
I moved into my house on 2 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Clacton On Sea advises it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Clacton On Sea uniquely lengthy to register?

Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
