It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Heston. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Heston will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or need the consent of another owner. Many extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Heston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
