It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in The Hale. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in The Hale involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
We are selling our apartment in The Hale. Will the property lawyer need to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. The Hale is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in The Hale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in The Hale may decide 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.
