You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land 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.
