It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Gomersal. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Gomersal involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Gomersal is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Gomersal to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Gomersal
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Gomersal conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
