The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Netherne 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Netherne I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Netherne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
