It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Blaenau Ffestiniog , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog?
Conveyancing - in Blaenau Ffestiniog or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
