You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers.
