You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Leeds involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Leeds differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Leeds contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Leeds usually purchase the real estate, 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 Leeds or who has acted in the same development.

My step-father has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Leeds. Should I choose my own solicitor?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Leeds conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
