It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Kirkby Lonsdale. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could stored with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Kirkby Lonsdale involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

We are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Kirkby Lonsdale with a loan from TSB.We like our Kirkby Lonsdale conveyancing practitioner but TSB informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a TSB panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for a TSB panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the TSB solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Kirkby Lonsdale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
