I am not well enough to travel far from Sedgefield. Is there a reason why all Sedgefield conveyancers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm is required to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that lenders have no liability for the standard of conveyancing given by any Sedgefield solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are differing thoughts concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law firms only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Sedgefield will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Sedgefield.

The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Sedgefield 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get current copies of the property title for a small fee.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Sedgefield I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sedgefield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
