It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Cranbrook. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered 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. Nearly all conveyancing in Cranbrook relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of stalling in Cranbrook conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Cranbrook.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
