It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Plasmarl. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Plasmarl relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Plasmarl where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Plasmarl conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.

Where a Plasmarl lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out what this would cost. For most Plasmarllease extensions you will need to own the residence for two years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension. You will want to find out as much as possible concerning the company managing the block as they can either make your life much easier or uncomfortable. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day issues such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask prospective neighbours what they think of them. On a final note, be sure you understand the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely what you get for your money. Generally speaking the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the service charges, although some managing agents in Plasmarl ask tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works.
My aim is to purchase a garden maisonette in Plasmarl. Conveyancing lawyer is waiting for, from the seller, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the seller needs to forward the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my solicitor need to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been stalled for the last 2 weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Plasmarl to discover Conveyancing in Plasmarl in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly better. Do double check with your property lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance cover.
