It is is a decade since I bought my home in Hayes. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Hayes relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Hayes I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hayes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce 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 twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
