It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Filey. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Filey involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
