Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Brighouse and Rastrick is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Brighouse and Rastrick. Almost all the properties are already sold. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Brighouse and Rastrick?
If you getting a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Brighouse and Rastrick.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Brighouse and Rastrick 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
