After shopping around on the internet I have found a Beaworthy conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Beaworthy surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Beaworthy 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

If duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
