It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Uttoxeter. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Uttoxeter relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Uttoxeter?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Uttoxeter. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am purchasing my first flat in Uttoxeter with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Uttoxeter is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Uttoxeter are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Uttoxeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Uttoxeter. I have stumble upon a web site which seems to have the perfect answer If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
