It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could be archived 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 solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Primrose Hill relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Primrose Hill I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Primrose Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. 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 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
