I was told recently by my mortgage broker that my Stallingborough solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Stallingborough conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Stallingborough conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Stallingborough. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Stallingborough involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Stallingborough is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Barclays Direct thus paying £187.00 plus VAT in another set of legal fees.
Please do take advantage of the search tool on this page. Pick the mortgage company and type ‘Stallingborough’ or your preferred area and you will see numerous solicitors offices in Stallingborough or nearest you.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the primary cause of obstruction in Stallingborough house deals. Is this right?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Stallingborough 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
Been searching for a conveyancing practitioner for freehold sale conveyancing in Stallingborough. We are selling, uncomplicated no mortgage to pay off, no rush, no onward chain. Got a quote from a conveyancer for nine hundred pounds including VAT which is a tad expensive given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Stallingborough?
Considering it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT would be about the cheapest for a Stallingborough solicitor firm.
