It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Kirkby In Furness. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could still be with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Skipton are being difficult. The Kirkby In Furness solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance 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.
