I can't travel far from Market Deeping. Please clarify why all Market Deeping conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a organisation must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some building societies made a decision to restrict the number of practices they permit to represent them. You should note that building societies have no liability for the standard of advice provided by any Market Deeping lawyer on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls question why law firms should have any entitlement to be on a bank panel when it is evident that property law is not their primary expertise?
It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Market Deeping. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Market Deeping involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent would be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Market Deeping.
