We finished paying for our house this year, since then I’ve written several times to the building society asking them to return our title deeds. They can’t seem to find them. How will we ever be able to sell our house?
Banks and building societies seem to lose peoples title deeds on a regular basis. These days home buyers register their properties at the Land Registry and lenders no longer require the deeds. If you have evidence that your building society was in possession of yours, you should ask them to pay for the process of registering your property now (which will enable to sell your house eventually). Get your solicitor to write to them.
