It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Llanfyllin. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Llanfyllin relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
