It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Pentonville. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability 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 obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Pentonville relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Pentonville. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
