Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Epworth 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Epworth I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Epworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
