It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Higher Kinnerton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered 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 Higher Kinnerton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
We're in Higher Kinnerton, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are selling our property in Higher Kinnerton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Higher Kinnerton. Having lived in Higher Kinnerton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
My cousin has urged me to instruct his conveyancers in Higher Kinnerton. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
