It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Finedon. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Finedon involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Finedon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Finedon come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Finedon typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Finedon or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Finedon I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Finedon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension 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 matter.
