Willretaining a Amble conveyancing solicitor make the ownership transfer smoother?

It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Amble. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Amble involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Amble conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My husband and I are spending time viewing flats in Amble and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with UBS.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Amble lawyer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Amble is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Amble are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Amble you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Amble may determine 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 property.
