It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Lewisham. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Lewisham involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Lewisham I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lewisham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Lewisham basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Lewisham conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Lewisham do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
