It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Anlaby. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Anlaby involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Anlaby. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

We previously appointed conveyancers locally in Anlaby on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Aldermore but by your Anlaby conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Anlaby property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Anlaby is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Anlaby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Anlaby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Anlaby may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
