It is is a decade since I bought my property in Walton on the Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Walton on the Hill involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
