You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Kington relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
