It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Llandovery. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Llandovery relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
