Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may still be with the solicitor who oversaw your 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 lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in North Cave relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
