It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Dosthill. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Dosthill involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Dosthill. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Dosthill - 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.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Dosthill, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?
