It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Llanmartin. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Llanmartin involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Llanmartin conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Principality approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Llanmartin.
