It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Caernarfon. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Caernarfon involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I only have Fifty years remaining on my flat in Caernarfon. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist would be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Caernarfon.
