It is is a decade since I bought my home in Beckton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Beckton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Beckton. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Beckton?

Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
