Me and my partner are acquiring a maisonette in Brown Edge. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank conveyancing panel. Can I still continue with my Brown Edge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
One must instruct a lawyer to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can appoint a Brown Edge conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they can do so.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Brown Edge by 16/3/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Brown Edge. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Brown Edge involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
