It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Wymondham. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wymondham involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

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.

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.
