It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Whimple. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Whimple relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Whimple for our home move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Godiva Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main restrict either the type or the amount of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they use to act for them. Be aware that Godiva Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Godiva Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Whimple only carry out very few conveyances per annum.

We were going to get a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Whimple solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Whimple solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Whimple off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Why do Whimple conveyancing charges are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work needed in leasehold conveyancing. Whimple has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
