It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Frenchay Common. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Frenchay Common involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Frenchay Common with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
