It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Whetstone. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is 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 solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Whetstone relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Whetstone I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whetstone for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
