It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Bodmin. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the 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 acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Bodmin involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Co-operative are being pedantic. The Bodmin solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Bodmin.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bodmin lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
