I was informed yesterday by my mortgage adviser that my Stocksbridge the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?
You need to contact your Stocksbridge conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Stocksbridge conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Stocksbridge. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your lender or they could be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Stocksbridge relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My relative recommended that where I am purchasing in Stocksbridge I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Stocksbridge Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Stocksbridge Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Stocksbridge.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Stocksbridge?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Stocksbridge. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
