It is is a decade since I bought my property in Yelverton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Yelverton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Yelverton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Notwithstanding that your last Yelverton conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
