As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver.

My 20yr old son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. One the offer was accepted on house we contacted the lender to issue the formal offer. We were shocked to learn that banks do not accept all lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this right?

Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Stanley property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
