It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Bramford. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Bramford relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
