It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Barnstaple. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Barnstaple relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

The fact that your lawyer is on the conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors.

How does conveyancing in Barnstaple differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Barnstaple approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Barnstaple tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Barnstaple or who has acted in the same development.
