It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Driffield. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases 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. Almost all conveyancing in Driffield involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Driffield I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Driffield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
