It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Cross Keys. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Cross Keys relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Cross Keys which have approximately forty five years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Cross Keys. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

You should be aware if it is less than 80 years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have been the owner of the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to extend the lease. Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is coming up that will be shared by the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the service costs or require a one time invoice.
