Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Pulborough 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Pulborough and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to business tenants, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of flats in Pulborough which have about fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Pulborough is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. For most buyers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Pulborough conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
