How long to receive a copy of house deeds

DCFC79

As the title says how long have people been waiting to get a copy of your deeds ? 

Mum passed away last year, house in her name but not sure where the deeds are so thinking I'll need to get a replacement copy.

Thanks

Is the property registered with the Land Registry?  If not, you've got a physical search on your hands.

Hi,

If the property is registered then there are no deeds - the Land Registry's computers are definitive and you can go online and get a copy of what they hold for £7 (make sure you use the real .gov.uk website).

If the property is not registered then there is nowhere to get a copy from - you will need to find the original deeds.

Should be but I guess I need to check, dont see why it wouldnt be registered with LR.

Im selling the property so do I need the deeds when the sale is being finalised ? What Ive read online says the solicitor dealing with the sale can get them, if thats the case I dont to get a copy right ? This is what I read

Yes, if it's registered the solicitors sort it out.

Solicitor either gets official copy of register from the land registry or if unregistered, asks you for the deeds.  once a property is registered,  deeds are still very useful and should be kept safe if only to refer to for historic or sentimental reasons.
