Souldappointing a Silverton conveyancing practitioner make the ownership transfer smoother?
Existing third party connections is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing solicitors.

It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Silverton. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Silverton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

My offer was accepted on a house in Silverton on 27/10/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Are Nationwide entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
