It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Crouch End. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Crouch End involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from HSBC as we intend to carry out alterations to our home in Crouch End. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Crouch End solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
HSBC do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC panel.
We were going to get a DIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Crouch End solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Crouch End solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
The conveyancing solicitors handling our conveyancing in Crouch End has forwarded papers to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at HM Land Regsitry?
Much of the property in Crouch End is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Crouch End conveyancing lawyers should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty prevails the standard guidance presently seems to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register the title first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this can though naturally cause a drawn-out home move.
