It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Eden Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Eden Park. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Soon after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Eden Park solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will incur an extra charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to find you a solicitor in Eden Park on the panel for HSBC.
