It is is a decade since I acquired my property in West Cross. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in West Cross relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
