I require expedited conveyancing in Conisbrough as I am faced with a deadline to complete within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not getting a home loan you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Conisbrough the following are examples of what can show up and therefore affect market value: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Conisbrough 4 years ago have long since closed.What are my next steps?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I'm buying a new build house in Conisbrough benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. 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.
