It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in East Harling. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?

Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in East Harling involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in East Harling. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
