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. Almost all conveyancing in Henlow relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Henlow I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Henlow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
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.
