It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Storrington. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Storrington involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Storrington for our house move. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our bank Leeds Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they use to represent them. Be aware that Leeds Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Leeds Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Storrington only carry out one or two conveyances per annum.

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Co-operative as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Storrington. Are we obliged to appoint a local Storrington solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Co-operative don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
The mortgage over my property is with Yorkshire BS for my property in Storrington. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
