It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Plymstock. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Plymstock involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Plymstock. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Plymstock conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
