It is is a decade since I bought my house in Lymm and Warburton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Lymm and Warburton conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property.

I am purchasing a new build house in Lymm and Warburton with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. Many freeholders or managing agents in Lymm and Warburton charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Lymm and Warburton home move. Where a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Lymm and Warburton state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance.
