Is the fact that my conveyancer in Hessle is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Hessle conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Hessle 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Hessle with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
