It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Borrowash. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Borrowash involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Borrowash. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Borrowash where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Borrowash conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I acquired a basement flat in Borrowash, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Borrowash with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2091
With just 66 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £11,400 and £13,200 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I pay a service charge for my flat in Borrowash. As a result of poor financial planning I slipped into arrears with remittance. The managing agents agreed a clearance schedule but there is still a couple of due to be paid.
I want to sell and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Do speak with the solicitor handling your Borrowash conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the debt to be attributed to the buyers. The sale price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then deal with the arrears once they are the owners.
