It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Stockwood. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may still be with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Stockwood relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

My partner and I are selling our house in Stockwood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stockwood. Having lived in Stockwood for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Stockwood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Is it best to appoint a Stockwood conveyancing solicitor based in the area that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work however they are based approximately 350kilometers away.
