It is is a decade since I bought my house in Coedpoeth. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is 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 procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Coedpoeth involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Coedpoeth 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
How does conveyancing in Coedpoeth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Coedpoeth come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Coedpoeth typically 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Coedpoeth or who has acted in the same development.
