It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Coniston. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Coniston relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
