You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, are being pedantic. The New Farnley solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
