It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Lymington. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lymington involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lymington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
