It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Hassocks. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Hassocks relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Hassocks for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Hassocks.
