I was told recently by my mortgage broker that my Morganstown solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be certain that this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Morganstown lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Morganstown conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
Is it realistic for conveyancing in Morganstown to be completed in less than 3 weeks?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Morganstown conveyancing firm. Second, check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Morganstown conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Morganstown conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Morganstown. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Morganstown involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Morganstown conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable Morganstown assessors
