It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Wilmslow. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wilmslow involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

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.
