It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Wigton. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Wigton involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wigton is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Is it best to use a Wigton conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the conveyancing but her office is 200miles away.
The benefit of a high street Wigton conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Wigton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company 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?

Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
