It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Newark. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Newark relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

If you haven't yet appointed a solicitor to do anything for you and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Newark that you're considering.
