It is is a decade since I bought my house in Spital. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Spital involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

My aunt pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Spital there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are anumerous of properties in Spital which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Spital should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

How can we know in advance if a Spital conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Spital obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Barclays as we intend to carry out improvements to our property in Spital. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Spital solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Barclays would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Spital with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.
