I am purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Margate who is on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society in certain locations such as Margate. We dont recommend any particular firm.

Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
