It is is a decade since I bought my home in Rise Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Rise Park involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am purchasing a new build house in Rise Park with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
