We expect to receive a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Shoeburyness solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Shoeburyness. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Shoeburyness. 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 TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
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 Shoeburyness lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Shoeburyness 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Shoeburyness. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Shoeburyness - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
