It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Melling. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Melling involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Melling for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Melling conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Melling with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
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%.
