I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Nationwide will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancer being on the Nationwide approved list is required to inform Nationwide of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Tunstall. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they could still be with the solicitor who handled 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 solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Tunstall involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Tunstall I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tunstall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
