It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Rye. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may still be with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Rye. Does the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s became a required part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Rye conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Rye energy assessors

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 Rye solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rye is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Your conveyancer that is on the mortgage company approved list is obliged to disclose to the lender of any variations to the sale amount. In the event that you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the bank.
