It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Kirkwhelpington. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Kirkwhelpington where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Kirkwhelpington conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
