Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of stalling in Sanderstead house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Sanderstead.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Sanderstead 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Sanderstead differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sanderstead come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Sanderstead tend to buy the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Sanderstead or who has acted in the same development.

You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.
