It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Frenchay Common. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Frenchay Common relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Frenchay Common 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Frenchay Common. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Frenchay Common

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Frenchay Common I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Frenchay Common suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
