It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Treuddyn. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Treuddyn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
