It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Great Wyrley. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Is this a problem?

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Great Wyrley conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Great Wyrley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Great Wyrley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My conveyancers in Great Wyrley have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
