It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Tunstall. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Tunstall involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
I have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Tunstall for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tunstall conveyancing specialists.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Tunstall
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Tunstall conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
