It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Gosport. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Gosport involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I am buying a new build house in Gosport with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with Chelsea Building Society. 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.
