It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Arkley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Arkley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

My wife and I intend to buy our 1st property in Arkley. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed in 2002.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
