You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Brecon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Brecon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Brecon contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Brecon tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brecon or who has acted in the same development.
