It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Grimsby. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may still be with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Grimsby relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I am due to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Grimsby. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only take place once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Grimsby or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Grimsby.
My lawyer has informed me that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Grimsby?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Principality, do Grimsby conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Having used 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 lender 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 lender solicitor panel.
