It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Goodmayes. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Goodmayes relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am thinking of mortgaging my apartment in Goodmayes, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Goodmayes is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Goodmayes are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Goodmayes you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodmayes may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.
