It is is a decade since I bought my house in Lincolnshire. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Lincolnshire involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
