It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Bridport. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could stored with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Bridport relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
