It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Newton Aycliffe off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a new build house in Newton Aycliffe with a mortgage from TSB. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with TSB. 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.
My partner and I may need to sub-let our Newton Aycliffe basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Newton Aycliffe conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Newton Aycliffe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
