I cannot find my house deeds does anyone know if this is something I can request myself instead of incurring expensive solicitor charges? Would appreciate all your help and advice on this one please thanks. Bob

Ask the solicitor who dealt with your purchase to send you a copy by email, as far as I know all deeds are digitally registered at the land registry.

The Notary with whom you signed the purchase retains the original copy of the title deeds.

You can go there directly and request a copy. No need for a lawyer. Just take all your documents you can find.

Should be a small charge incurred.

Thank you so much for all your help on this one, Ive asked Barclays estate agents who dealt with the sale and their solicitors as well and they have said that they only have the front copy and i would have had the original, not very helpful.

I cant really remember much about it but I though Barclays said they would deal with it all and my solicitor said they never dealt with it so I presume Barclays should be more helpful.

Hi Bob,

Did you attend the completion meeting for your proprty purchase in person, or did you give your lawyer a power of attorney to attend on your behalf?  If the former, go direct to the notary's office, as Norrimac has suggested.  If the latter, be firmer with your lawyer - if they had your POA, they should have a copy or be able to give you details of the notary.

If an extract is sufficient for your needs, i.e. a copy of the Nota Simple, you can obtain it for a fee (the first site also requires you to have a digital certificate):

Kind regards,

Kim
