Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Rudry. Is there a reason why all Rudry property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders removing less reputable firms from their books of approved property lawyers .
It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Rudry. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Rudry involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
