It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Toton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?

Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Toton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Toton. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Toton who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Toton conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Can you tell me if there are any major works anticipated that could add a premium to the service charges?
