It is is a decade since I acquired my property in The Meadows. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in The Meadows relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in The Meadows?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in The Meadows. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in The Meadows. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in The Meadows I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in The Meadows suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
