It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Garston. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Garston involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Some firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

How does conveyancing in Garston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Garston contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Garston usually purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in Garston or who has acted in the same development.
