It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Eastbourne. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Eastbourne relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We are buying a apartment in Eastbourne. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Eastbourne but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Eastbourne
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Eastbourne conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
Is there a list of Co-operative panel conveyancers in Eastbourne on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are in need of a Eastbourne solicitor on the Co-operative please make the most of our facility.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Eastbourne?
