It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Redfield. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Redfield involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am buying a new build house in Redfield with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Redfield in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to give a loan on such a home.

The Land Registry by statute are required to reveal price sold data on the official title for domestic properties countrywide which includes homes in Redfield. The register of title is an open document, so HMLR would be breaking the law if they did not allow access to the register.

In essence you can ask the Land Registry to hide the amount paid data however the response will be a No.
