It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Bourne End. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Bourne End involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Bourne End I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bourne End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
