It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Hoyland. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hoyland relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I am purchasing a terraced house in Hoyland. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Hoyland you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

We are buying a apartment in Hoyland. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Hoyland what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Hoyland conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Hoyland conveyancer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am purchasing my first flat in Hoyland with a loan from Virgin Money. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
