It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Broadclyst. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is 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 solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Broadclyst relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Broadclyst. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Broadclyst I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Broadclyst suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Broadclyst. I happened to land on a site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Broadclyst. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Broadclyst - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the tenants benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. Please note if it is less than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Are there any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the maintenance fees?
