Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who oversaw the 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 procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Snodland relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
