It is is a decade since I bought my house in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Aldermanbury 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

    Answering pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Aldermanbury Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Aldermanbury leasehold property is £350. For Aldermanbury conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.
