It is is a decade since I bought my house in Kearsley. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Kearsley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Kearsley?
Do check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank and check if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Kearsley.
How does conveyancing in Kearsley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kearsley come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Kearsley typically acquire 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 Kearsley or who has acted in the same development.
