Me and my fiance are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Umberleigh with a mortgage. We like our Umberleigh lawyer, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to instruct one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Umberleigh conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Umberleigh conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.

You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Umberleigh land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that 50 years ago when they purchased the property there were complications with Umberleigh not being recognised in some systems.

The vast majority of premises in Umberleigh should appear. Have you endevoured to search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the houses and flats within that postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which may be with your parent’s bank.
