It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Broadstairs. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Broadstairs involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Broadstairs prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.

You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
