It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Chessington. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled your 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 lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Chessington involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
