I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a house in Brent Park? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Brent Park?

Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Brent Park to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

The deeds to my house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Brent Park 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Brent Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
