It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Dalton in Furness. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your 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 solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Dalton in Furness relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
