It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Tenterden. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Tenterden relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new.
