It is is a decade since I bought my property in Ellesmere. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Ellesmere
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Ellesmere conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
