It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Romford. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in 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 solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Romford relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Romford. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is e-mail your solicitor and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should call Halifax who may be able to assist.

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 Romford conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Romford is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
