It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Aldeburgh. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Aldeburgh relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
