It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Barnet. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Barnet involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
The Barnet conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Barnet have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Barnet lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.

I am purchasing a new build house in Barnet benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
