It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Burslem. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Burslem involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I'm buying my first flat in Burslem benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Platform Home Loans Ltd. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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 last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Burslem is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Burslem are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Burslem 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 Burslem may determine 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 property.
