It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Bodmin. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded 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. Most conveyancing in Bodmin involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

The Bodmin conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Bodmin have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my preferred Bodmin lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
