It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Farnworth. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Farnworth involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Farnworth. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Given that you have now exchanged you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you are facing a pending a fixed date to complete the purchase. An auction property should have a bespoke legal pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Farnworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Some mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Farnworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Farnworth conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

My folks cant seem to find their Farnworth property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They recall that back in the 70’s when they purchased the property there were complications concerning the post code not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of premises in Farnworth should be revealed. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Normally it will mention all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s bank.
