I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Henlow by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Henlow. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your 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 lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers.

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
