The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Cemaes Bay 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Cemaes Bay prior to retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
