I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Osidge for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I'm purchasing my first flat in Osidge benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

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%.

I have been pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Osidge to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Osidge what are the most common lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Osidge. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money, and TSB all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
My sister purchased her house in Osidge in 2007. She has been married, widowed and is now married again. She wishes to sell the property in a couple of months. I think she will simply be need to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer but she is concerned it could hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the title documents for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the register on the basis that you have the evidence required to show how the change of name has come about.
Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should check the title entries and request evidence to establish the name change for example marriage certificates.
