You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

I own a leasehold flat in Ruislip. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have been told that I should not allow the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?

Ruislip leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - normally just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Ruislip were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so such leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing 75 years. To maximise the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
