I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Bicester. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Bicester. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Bicester. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Bicester relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
My colleague suggested that if I am buying in Bicester I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I am purchasing my first flat in Bicester benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
