It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Balham. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Balham relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
