It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Tickton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Tickton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
