Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in South Harrow 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I am purchasing my first flat in South Harrow benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. 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.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our South Harrow 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a South Harrow conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last South Harrow conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
