It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Newton Ferrers. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Newton Ferrers involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
