It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Liverpool. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Liverpool involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Can I be sure that the Liverpool conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Liverpool lawyer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
