Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Holywell 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee.

There are only Seventy years left on my flat in Holywell. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the lessor. On the whole a specialist may be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Holywell.
