It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Shenstone. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Shenstone relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Shenstone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shenstone 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 builders in Shenstone tend to buy the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Shenstone or who has acted in the same development.
