I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a family Chellaston conveyancing solicitor?

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Chellaston but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Chellaston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Chellaston but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
What does a local search tell me concerning the property my wife and I purchasing in Chellaston?
Chellaston conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Searchflow The local search plays a central part in many a Chellaston conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Chellaston 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I am purchasing a new build house in Chellaston benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. 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%.
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.
