Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the lawyers who oversaw 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 solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Rawcliffe involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Rawcliffe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rawcliffe come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Rawcliffe usually purchase the real estate, 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 Rawcliffe or who has acted in the same development.
