It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Stokenchurch. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could stored with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Stokenchurch relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Stokenchurch. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Stokenchurch?

I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Stokenchurch. The Stokenchurch property was put into my name in . I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in . Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Stokenchurch. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address.

I am in the process of purchasing my first home in Stokenchurch. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed in 2001.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is over ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
