It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in West Dulwich. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in West Dulwich involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
