It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Box. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title 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. Most conveyancing in Box involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
