It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Havering. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases 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 current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Havering relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
