Depends on the property, whether the title is registered or unregistred, pre or post 1963 and lots of other factors. A cottage in the country built in 1950 for example may not have any "deeds", just a noting in the land registry. A property in the centre of a town with a lot of extensions could have a large pile which can be very difficult to replace. If you post the location, type of property and age I might be able to be more specific, you can pm me this information if you like
