It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Standish. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Standish relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Standish. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Standish I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Standish suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
