It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Clayhall. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Clayhall relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
