It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Tal y bont. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers.
