It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Cudworth. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Cudworth relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
