Just had a look there out of curiosity to see if mine were available, just in case my belief that my mortgage lender has them is incorrect, and was rather surprised to find that they have.
I bought my place in '92 and I was under the impression that the switch to all-electronic was more recent than that. Might even pay them the £4 someday to get a copy, now

Incidentally, what you get electronically for £4 is effectively a photocopy (but delivered via internet). It is interesting, and it can be useful, but it is not a legally valid document.

For legal purposes, what you need is an 'Office Copy', a paper version of which can be ordered/purchased from the LR for (I think) £12.

Cheers G_M, at this stage it's more of interest and knowing that I can get the real thing when I need it - which won't be for a few years yet unless there's a stock market miracle
