Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector.

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they could still be with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Desford involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Desford - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.
