The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Lichfield 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lichfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Lichfield are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lichfield you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lichfield may decide 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 premises.
How simple is it to use the search facility to get a fee calculation from a conveyancing solicitor in Lichfield on the approved list for my bank?

I am 17 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Lichfield. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been generated? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. That should be your starting point.
