    The deeds could be in deep archive storage,

    If you know the mortgage company / Building society at the time it was paid off and have a reference number, it might be as simple as asking them. If it’s one of the many who were bought out then find out who owns it now.

    In my Dad’s case, Barclays had bought out the old BS and had archived the deeds. It took a while to find out the info but if we hadn’t had old statements with the original reference number, the Deeds would never have been found. They weren’t stored by Name.
    Doesn’t your Mum know where the deeds are / might be?
