I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Wilton for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
A lender may insist on an approved solicitor act for it. You would be expected to bear the charges for this. Please make use of our directory service to locate a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Wilton on the Birmingham Midshires approved list of solicitors.
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Wilton 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Wilton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I'm selling a bungalow in Wilton. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
