Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a property owner and prospective acquirer giving the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the premises within an agreed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you will be issued with a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be utilised for buyer confidence though in some cases, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using them but you need to check with your solicitor but beware that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these contracts are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Halkyn.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Halkyn. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Halkyn involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Halkyn years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

If copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.

The vast majority of properties in Halkyn should show up. Have you tried a search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should reveal all the premises inside the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
