Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in White City 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

How does conveyancing in White City differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in White City approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in White City typically buy the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in White City or who has acted in the same development.
