It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Stanwell. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Stanwell involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I am purchasing my first flat in Stanwell with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.

Last June I purchased a leasehold property in Stanwell. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
