It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Sowerby Bridge. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Sowerby Bridge. The Sowerby Bridge property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
