It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Pensysarn. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Pensysarn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Pensysarn 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
