It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Loughborough. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Loughborough involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We are selling our flat in Loughborough. Will my lawyer have to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
I am downsizing from our property in Loughborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Loughborough lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Loughborough. Having lived in Loughborough for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Loughborough I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Loughborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
