Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Sudbury relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
