Used the same solicitor, a one man band, for coming up to 40 years. He has the deeds in his room safe as the Building Society wanted to charge me £40 per year for the privilege of them looking after the deeds - the mortgage was paid off decades ago.
The solicitor looks after the deeds for "free" - the lawyer's payday is when either of us departs and they tie up all the loose ends and distribute the estate.
The only, hopefully minor, issue is that the solicitor retired and it is now people I do not know at all - never had reason to need their services. The previous guy had bought & sold other properties for my sons as they progressed from flats to houses over the years.
