You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your lender or they could still be with the solicitor who acted in your purchase.

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.
