It is is a decade since I bought my home in Hindhead. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hindhead involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800.
