It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Raynes Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability 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. The vast majority of conveyancing in Raynes Park relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Raynes Park has been accepted, now what?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Barclays or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Raynes Park.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Raynes Park I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Raynes Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Barnsley Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease.
