It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Newbiggin By The Sea. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Newbiggin By The Sea involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have been told by my lawyer that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Newbiggin By The Sea?

There is not much else in Newbiggin By The Sea for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 lawyer about this.
