It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Adderbury. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase.

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
