It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Fairlop. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Fairlop involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
My grandfather passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Fairlop. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Barclays, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to refinance then Barclays will require that you use a conveyancer on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Barclays mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Fairlop. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Fairlop - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Fairlop conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
