It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Cranbrook. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered 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 Cranbrook relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Cranbrook.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Cranbrook 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
