It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Bedlington. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

Where you are instructing a Bedlington conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable Bedlington assessors
