It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Reading. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Reading relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Reading
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Reading conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
