It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Silsoe. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Silsoe involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a ground floor flat in Silsoe. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Silsoe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Please help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Silsoe conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Silsoe solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Silsoe solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

Am I best advised to use a Silsoe conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities however his firm is located 400kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Silsoe conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were happy that must surpass using an unknown Silsoe conveyancing solicitor just because they are Silsoe based.
