It is is a decade since I bought my property in Great Linford. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Great Linford relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Great Linford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Great Linford contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Great Linford typically acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Great Linford or who has acted in the same development.
