It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Croxley Green. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Croxley Green relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

How does conveyancing in Croxley Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Croxley Green approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Croxley Green typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Croxley Green or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Croxley Green I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Croxley Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
