It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Linslade. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase.

Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Linslade can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or need the permission of another owner.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being pedantic. The Linslade solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.
