It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Earlsfield. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Earlsfield relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

A high street Earlsfield lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield.

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Earlsfield for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

How does conveyancing in Earlsfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Earlsfield come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Earlsfield tend to buy 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 Earlsfield or who has acted in the same development.
