It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Ivybridge. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ivybridge involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

A few days later, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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.

My husband and I are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Ivybridge with a mortgage from a lender. We like our lawyer in Ivybridge however our lender inform us now that he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or stay with our Ivybridge conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Ivybridge : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
