Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Sheen Park 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
