My financial adviser requires my Thame law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Thame branch but they cant find it on their system.

Have you tried contacting your Thame about this?. Most Thame conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Thame. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be archived with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Thame involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Thame 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Thame is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Thame are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thame you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thame may ascertain 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 premises.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Thame. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Thame - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
