Even where you use a solicitor outside Brandon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brandon may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.
