It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Bessacarr. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could stored with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bessacarr relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I'm buying my first flat in Bessacarr with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. 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.
