I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Marchington. 95% of the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Marchington?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Marchington conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Marchington.
It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Marchington. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may stored with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Marchington involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Marchington is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
