So how do I go about finding out if the lawyer did their job or not? I took their word for it first time round! All was legal and in place, they dealt with everything, bank was happy and gave us the mortgage.. what more could we/can we do? I have been trying to get a response from the solicitor who dealt with it but am getting no response! How do I stand on this?

We have paid once for all of this to be done, why should we have to pay all over again? Surely it can happen again if this is the case? Whose word do I take for what?

I have the segregation papers but what do I do if they have not been filed? Where do I go for the certificates and LPO which I understood were already in situ? Who would have the originals/copies of these?
