Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Wootton.

They would need to be very bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-sent.

My lawyers in Wootton have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
