It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Garndolbenmaen. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
