It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Reading. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Reading relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify solicitors on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Reading?

I am buying a new build house in Reading with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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 husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Reading
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Reading conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
