It is is a decade since I bought my house in Sandgate. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Sandgate relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Sandgate with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We like our Sandgate conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society advised that he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Sandgate.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Sandgate. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Sandgate I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sandgate suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
