Original Solicitor in Administration - Need Documents

Morning Everyone
Hope you're well. I am in the process of selling my property and I have discovered the original solicitor I used has gone into administration. The administrators are taking 28 days to respond to queries so I thought I could pick some brains and see if I can move things along myself.

I've been asked to secure the Planning Permission for the build and the Building Regulation Completion Certificate. I have no idea where to start to find these - I can find the planning permission notice for the site but not my individual property and I'm not sure what the BRCC is.
I've got all the certificates for gas and electric plus a quality of construction certificate from Persimmon (don't laugh!) but I'm guessing there's an additional certificate? 

Anyone had a similar experience that can advise?
Many thanks

    The relevant departments of the council will have both (often indexed under the development plot number rather than the postal address, just to complicate matters). Or Persimmon's solicitors may have them to hand. Your (current) solicitor ought to be doing this paper-chasing though.

    Normally I would have expected these to have been sent to you when you bought, not kept by the solicitor - however, if you haven't already done so you should be able to ask the administrator to send the full file to you (I assume that it's the solicitor yu used when you bought, not that they were half way through your sale and went bust?)

    As the previous poster says you should also be able to obtain them from the relevant council's planning department.
