Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Brighouse and Rastrick. I would like to know the understand why all Brighouse and Rastrick aren't automatically on all bank panels?
A decade ago most banks exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the on your panel. Accordingly, mortgage companies have since requiredmore data from law firms concerning their processes and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Brighouse and Rastrick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Brighouse and Rastrick lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brighouse and Rastrick. We have lived in Brighouse and Rastrick for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Brighouse and Rastrick 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
