It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Holmrook. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Holmrook relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
