It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Connahs Quay. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Connahs Quay involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
