It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Aldborough Hatch. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Aldborough Hatch relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Aldborough Hatch where we see a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Aldborough Hatch conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Aldborough Hatch conveyancing firm to help?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the price.
