It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Burry Port. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that 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 current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Burry Port relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Burry Port
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Burry Port conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
