It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Cranham. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Cranham involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my flat in Cranham. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Cranham.
