An auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete on the on the contractual date .

My offer on a detached house in Kidderminster has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Kidderminster. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Kidderminster conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Kidderminster 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Kidderminster benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 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.
