It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Southport. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Southport relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Southport I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Southport for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
