It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Northumberland. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Northumberland involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Northumberland 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

If copies can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of lenders have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender aspect of your transaction.

We have selected a Northumberland conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have picked up in the terms and conditions that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be worried or is that usually the case with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the SRA, who have specific stipulations regulating funds held on client account.
