My title deeds don't mention the number of bedrooms

Hi, 
I've looked everywhere in my documents, but my title deeds don't mention the number of bedrooms.
Is it normal?
The house was extended a couple of times (loft conversion and kitchen extension), following all the legal requirements (PD planning application, certificates of lawful development and certificates of completion).

Thanks

A room can be used for whatever purpose you wish.

Yes I believe it's totally normal.
After all, what makes a room a bedroom rather than a study, a dining room a lounge etc ?

I raised the question because in many threads sellers and buyers say that due to the lack of paperwork ((PA) sometimes a house can't be sold as a 4 bedrooms house, so I imagined that this number should show somewhere in the papers

That tends to be more when people have done a loft conversion or otherbuilding work and not had it signed off by building control as a habitable room. So that’s about the structure of the space and safety,  not what it would be used for.
That’s why you sometimes see details with a large boarded loft space with plugs et cetera that’s clearly been used as an office, but can’t be advertised as that.

I see. Thanks very much.

Sometimes you will see a house advertised as a 4 bed when all other houses surrounding of a similar design are listed as a 3 bed. The only difference being the 4 bed has a second bathroom on the ground floor whilst all the others have just one upstairs.

So you have a 3 bed with 2 reception rooms and one bathroom, and a 4 bed with 1 reception & 2 bathrooms - Identical layout, same number of rooms (except for a small extension for the 2nd bathroom).
