I am selling my home in Barton Upon Humber. Does the property lawyer have to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Barton Upon Humber 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
