Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Hartburn. Please spell out why all Hartburn conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all lender panels?
A decade ago most banks demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, banks have since soughtmore data from law firms about their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Hartburn 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or sell your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.

-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
