It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Boreham. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the 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 procuring current official copies of the land registers.

As far as conveyancing in Boreham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Should I be concerned that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Boreham conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
