It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Brislington. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may still be with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Brislington relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I'm buying my first flat in Brislington with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Brislington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Brislington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brislington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brislington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
