It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Godstone. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could be archived with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Godstone relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Godstone I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Godstone suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
