It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Murton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Murton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Much to my surprise my lawyer in Murton has requested from me personal identification documents stating that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the bank Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not specific to conveyancing in Murton
