It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Bardsley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Bardsley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
We intend to purchase a newbuild flat in Bardsley with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We have a Bardsley conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Scotland says he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland
