My home in Telford is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are a common cause of stalling in Telford house deals. Is that correct?

The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Telford 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I own a 2 bed flat in Telford, conveyancing was carried out August 2007. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Telford with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2082
With only 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a property in Telford which is to be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many purchasers will insist that it is done before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
