Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Northumberland Heath 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Northumberland Heath I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Northumberland Heath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

You can appoint a lawyer now and ask them to open a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to submit the draft paperwork. However, do not instruct your lawyer to order searches until you have your valuation report via Coventry Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
