It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Kings Norton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may stored 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 own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Kings Norton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
