I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Homerton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Homerton conveyancing specialists.

I'm buying a new build house in Homerton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
