Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bath?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Bath 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Bath I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bath in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
