It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Clapham and Salph End. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title 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. Almost all conveyancing in Clapham and Salph End relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
How does conveyancing in Clapham and Salph End differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Clapham and Salph End come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Clapham and Salph End usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Clapham and Salph End or who has acted in the same development.
