It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Bacup. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bacup involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am due to move house in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Bacup. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Bacup or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Bacup.
My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Bacup. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to see if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Bacup can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or need the permission of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Bacup conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

We are 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Bacup. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would have to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been generated? If so you must advise them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid added costs and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

How does one remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Bacup?
If a Bacup property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your lawyer would just need to supply proof why the co proprietor is missing from the conveyance, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you may apply to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
