Please help. My Hedge End and Botley conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Hedge End and Botley conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any say here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hedge End and Botley conveyancing searches.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Hedge End and Botley. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Hedge End and Botley. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Hedge End and Botley solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Bank of Ireland would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland list.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Hedge End and Botley conveyancing lawyers were instructed. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
