It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Gilberdyke. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Gilberdyke involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Gilberdyke off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a apartment in Gilberdyke. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gilberdyke lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a new build house in Gilberdyke benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will affect 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.
