We chose a Mawsley based firm for my conveyancing in Mawsley last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line conveyancing brokerage offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Mawsley?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these arrangements rarely cover disbursements such your Mawsley conveyancing search costs.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Mawsley. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Mawsley relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
