It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Nether Edge. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property 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. Almost all conveyancing in Nether Edge involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian house in Nether Edge. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward lawyers to appoint. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
