It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Rainhill. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could still be with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Rainhill relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Rainhill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
