It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Wallington. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wallington involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

We expect to receive a DIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Wallington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
