It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Wolviston. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate 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 lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Wolviston relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Wolviston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wolviston come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Wolviston tend to 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 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 Wolviston or who has acted in the same development.
