It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Lees. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lees is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
