It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Totteridge. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Totteridge involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Totteridge?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Totteridge.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Totteridge with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Totteridge I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Totteridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
