It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Whitnash. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could still be with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Whitnash involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Whitnash I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitnash for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
