    No mortgage on the property. But, deeds cannot be found. What would be the next step, can a solicitor help?

    Any solicitor with property experience could deal with this.
    Leaving open for general discussion

    When was the property built and was it built by a local authority?

    Hi,


    Built approx mid 19th century, was always a residence,/shop. Doubt it was ever owned by a local authority.


    Thanks.

    When did it last change ownership?

    Reconstitution of title is possible and there are solicitors that are experienced in doing so.

    Did your dad ever have a mortgage or do you know who was his solicitor when he bought it

    Never had a mortgage (old school) had a loan at around 16% for a portion for a year.:)


    Yes, we know his solicitor. My dad kept the deeds. Likely thrown out now. HSE looking for a copy of deeds as part of nursing home fair deal scheme.

    you could try to get a copy of a Memorial of his Deed from the Registry of Deeds.

    It used be possible, and common enough, for a bank to act as a safe deposit, if you know who he banked with it might be worth asking - though good luck finding someone who has the faintest idea what you are talking about, and how to deal with it.

    Might be easier to just get them re-issued. Our deeds went missing in a post office raid some 30 years ago, they were re-issued no problem but I also had to sign to say they had never turned up and if they did I would return them, recently.

    If it’s for HSE and deeds are missing a Memorial of Deeds will suffice. My brother had the same issue when doing Fair Deal but land registration people sorted it out
