It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Quorn. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Quorn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Quorn differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Quorn come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Quorn usually 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 conveyancers 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 Quorn or who has acted in the same development.
