Some advice if I may. My Oughtibridge conveyancer is informing me me that he has toconduct Oughtibridge conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Oughtibridge conveyancing searches.

It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Oughtibridge involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Oughtibridge 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I have been recommended by a few property agents in Oughtibridge to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
