It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Leagrave and Chalton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I am expecting a DIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Leagrave and Chalton solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Leagrave and Chalton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
Should our lawyer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton. Some people will acquire a property in Leagrave and Chalton, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Leagrave and Chalton. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to discover whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s lawyers may also order an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Leagrave and Chalton with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
