It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Penmaenmawr. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Penmaenmawr involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Penmaenmawr solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest conveyancers to select. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
