It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Forest Gate. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Forest Gate relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
My Conveyancer in Forest Gate has never been on on the Platform Home Loans Ltd Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Find an alternative solicitor to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. 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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Forest Gate and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex.
