As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I'm buying a new build house in Fratton and Portsea with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Fratton and Portsea conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
