Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in East Acton 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Where copies can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
