It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Freezywater. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase.

Given that your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being pedantic. The Freezywater solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
