I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 8 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, The Mortgage Business are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the The Mortgage Business conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but The Mortgage Business are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do The Mortgage Business have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that The Mortgage Business have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why The Mortgage Business may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
