It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Cheadle Hulme. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Cheadle Hulme relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
We're in Cheadle Hulme, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am purchasing a new build house in Cheadle Hulme with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. 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.
