It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Cross Keys. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Cross Keys involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cross Keys I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cross Keys in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Fifty years left on my flat in Cross Keys. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Cross Keys.
