You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Chafford Hundred involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Chafford Hundred on 2/10/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
