It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Mansfield Woodhouse. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Mansfield Woodhouse. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
You must advise UBS prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel firm.

Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Mansfield Woodhouse - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
