Can you recommend a allowed Crossness conveyancing lawyer who can have us moved in within less than a month? Would it be better to use a high street Crossness conveyancer or a factory type conveyancer?

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Crossness. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Crossness relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for
What does a local search tell me regarding the property my wife and I purchasing in Crossness?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Crossness I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Crossness suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
