It is is a decade since I bought my house in Hathern. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Hathern involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The mortgage over my property is with Santander for my property in Hathern. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Hathern. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Hathern I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hathern suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
