It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Arley. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Arley relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
