It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Abbots Bromley. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Abbots Bromley involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Abbots Bromley conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
Finally our conveyancing in Abbots Bromley completes next Friday, however the owners I am buying from has asked to vacate 24 hours later at PM. Do I agree to this?
