It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Builth Wells. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Is this a problem?

Nearly all conveyancing in Builth Wells involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
