You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Dyserth conveyancing searches.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Dyserth. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title 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 Dyserth relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
