You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Llanmartin involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Conveyancing - in Llanmartin or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title.
