It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Chiseldon. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Chiseldon involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
