It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Lindfield. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Lindfield relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
