It is is a decade since I bought my house in Isleworth. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Isleworth relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

We previously selected solicitors based in Isleworth on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Barclays but by your Isleworth solicitor. Some firms on the Barclays panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Isleworth conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality completed the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Isleworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Isleworth lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
