It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Ystradgynlais. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled 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 acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ystradgynlais involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Ystradgynlais?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company and check if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Ystradgynlais.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Ystradgynlais. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
