It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Ilminster. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Ilminster involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I completed on my home on 11 January and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ilminster advises it would be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Ilminster uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Ilminster is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying my first flat in Ilminster with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan 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.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Ilminster I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ilminster in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
