It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Easingwold. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded 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 Easingwold relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a bungalow in Easingwold which is to be sold. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many purchasers will insist that it is completed before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?

In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
