It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Isleworth. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Isleworth involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I'm in the process of looking at flats in Isleworth and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with RBS.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Isleworth building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Isleworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays.
