It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Splott. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Splott lawyer having made sure that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Splott surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
