It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Trafford Park. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded 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. Most conveyancing in Trafford Park relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Trafford Park ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Trafford Park conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Trafford Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
