It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Wirksworth. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land 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. Almost all conveyancing in Wirksworth involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am purchasing a property in Wirksworth. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Wirksworth.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
