It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Trefnant. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered 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. Most conveyancing in Trefnant relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Trefnant and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Trefnant lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Trefnant. Having lived in Trefnant for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Trefnant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Trefnant come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Trefnant usually buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Trefnant or who has acted in the same development.
