It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Hessle. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hessle involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hessle solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
