It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Egremont. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Egremont involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Egremont differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Egremont contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Egremont usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Egremont or who has acted in the same development.
