It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Cross Keys. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land 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. The vast majority of conveyancing in Cross Keys involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Cross Keys I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cross Keys for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
