It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Wilmslow. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wilmslow relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
