Missing deeds?? Aaaargh!!
I am trying to wind up my late Mother's estate. She has left everything very organised, so hopefully just a methodical process. She was always adamant that the deeds to her apartment were at Lloyds bank and she has written that on various instructions to me on what to do on her death. However, I was in Lloyds today,…

A question for EA's.
I'd like to know what current estate agents think of the following: I am a potential FTB, very good deposit and great credit history so don't envisage problems gaining a mortgage.

House selling - agents don't seem bothered!
