It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Alexandra Park. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Alexandra Park relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Alexandra Park. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Alexandra Park?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Alexandra Park. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My wife and I are at the point of viewing houses in Alexandra Park and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Principality.
It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
