I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Common Edge. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Common Edge?
If you getting a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Common Edge conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Common Edge.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Common Edge. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Common Edge involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

We expect to receive a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Common Edge solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Common Edge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
