It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Camden Town. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Camden Town involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
