It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Leyton. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Leyton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Leyton. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Leyton?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Leyton. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
