The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Enfield Highway 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Enfield Highway is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Enfield Highway are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Enfield Highway you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Enfield Highway may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Am I best advised to use a Enfield Highway conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work but her office is a couple of hundredmiles away.
The primary upside of using a local Enfield Highway conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Enfield Highway conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Enfield Highway where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Enfield Highway conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is 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 have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Enfield Highway conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the amount due.
