It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Barton Le Clay. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Barton Le Clay relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
