It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Kirton in Lindsey. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Kirton in Lindsey involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
What will a local search inform me concerning the house we're buying in Kirton in Lindsey?

How does conveyancing in Kirton in Lindsey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirton in Lindsey approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Kirton in Lindsey typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kirton in Lindsey or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Kirton in Lindsey I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Kirton in Lindsey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
