House ownership not registered with Land Registry

My elderly (widowed) Dad has only just in the last year made a will at my request.

The solicitors we used advised us that my Dads home (owned for over 40 years by him and my late mother) ownership was not registered on the Land Registry.

Dad has the original deeds/conveyancing in his house.

Do we need to do anything? The solictor seemed to think this was important, my Dad has dementia (and will likely need to go into a care home and his house sold in the next few years, house is worth £450k) and I have LPA. Dad has very limited liquid cash.
Solictors are always trying to sell more services (in my experience) so I never know if their advice is worth taking or not!

Anyone on here got any advice?

Yes, I know that. But sorting it out will delay any sale of the property. It would be better to sort it out in advance before there’s any urgency.
