It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Sandringham. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Sandringham relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
My apartment in Sandringham is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
