It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Porthmadog. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Porthmadog involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
What is the best way to investigate if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Porthmadog is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Bank of Scotland thus spending £192.00 in supplemental conveyancing bill.
