It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Sawbridgeworth. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sawbridgeworth involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
