It has come to my attention via my lender that my Turvey the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Turvey 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Turvey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Turvey come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Turvey typically 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 Turvey or who has acted in the same development.

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Turvey. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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.
