    Sometimes you find out a lot later.

    I was 7 years after buying my apartment when I received a letter from a firm of solicitors informing me that the solicitor who had carried out the conveyancing had been struck off and was being investigated by the law society and that they had taken over the files and discovered that the land registry bit of the conveyancing had never been done so they had completed it at no charge.

    I was none the wiser til I received that letter, and probably wouldnt have discovered the issue until I went to sell.
    Sounds exactly like a guy who cornered the Google Adwords market a few years ago for "low cost conveyancing" type searches.

    Pat, I nominate that this post or thread be elevated to a sticky based on that post!

    Could call it: "Conveyancing briefly explained" or something.

    I fully support this suggestion.

    Too many think conveyancing is now just a matter of ticking a few boxes and that the wordprocessor and/or a trainee do all the rest.

    The only addition I would suggest is ( in mortgage cases ) is that over the years the banks vary their approval letters.

    During the boom anything went - couldn't get the money out fast enough.

    After that I have seen approval letters extending and adding to matters to be checked or certified by the solicitor. All these have to be carefully read.
