It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Laindon. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Laindon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Laindon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Laindon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Laindon usually buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Laindon or who has acted in the same development.
