It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Welling. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Welling involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Welling?

My wife and I are buying a apartment in Welling. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Welling on 21/7/2026, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Are Virgin Money entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Welling has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Yorkshire BS or the broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Welling.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Welling I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Welling suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
