Value of old title deeds/indentures?

HouseFlipper

Hello, I am selling a house at auction (well hopefully selling!) and am sending the solicitors everything in advance of the auction as they will be preparing the contract for exchange of contract on the day.

The house has no mortgage on it, so I own all the documents for it. I have asked the solicitors if they need all the title deeds for the house from ca. 1850s and they said to just send everything but did not seem that bothered, and from experience I have bought houses from 1900 that came with no title deeds, only the latest land registry entries.

I have read that often solicitors will discard old title deeds or maybe even keep them and sell them? Is that true?

I used to live in this house I am selling and it is the only one for which I got all these title deeds and "indentures", which I find beautiful (they could be framed), have lovely red stamps, calligraphy writing and generally could have some value for their stamps and beauty?

Has anyone any thoughts on that? Do you think the solicitors actually need such old title deeds or could I get away with just sending them all the ones from 1950 (which are ugly and just factual).

And do you think it is something I could one day sell or have they got no value? Especially if they are not for a house I own anymore. If I was sure they would go to the new owners and they actual want these, I'd be more than happy to send them, but it is an investment opportunity unfortunately now, so I think the house will go to someone who will not care about the history of the house.

Many thanks for the advice.
