It is is a decade since I bought my property in Radford. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Radford involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

My partner and I are selling our house in Radford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Radford. We have lived in Radford for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Radford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Radford come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Radford 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 property lawyers 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 Radford or who has acted in the same development.
