It is is a decade since I bought my home in Stoke Park. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Stoke Park relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

We expect to receive a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Stoke Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Stoke Park conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Stoke Park. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
