Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers.
