I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Buckfastleigh. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor list. Can I still retain my Buckfastleigh conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?

- Proceed with your chosen Buckfastleigh property lawyer but your lender will no doubt appoint a lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges together with potential delay.
- Choose a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel

It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Buckfastleigh. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Buckfastleigh involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
