It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wilberfoss relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Wilberfoss
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Wilberfoss conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
