It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Easingwold. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Easingwold involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
How does conveyancing in Easingwold differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Easingwold contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Easingwold usually 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 conveyancers 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 Easingwold or who has acted in the same development.
