I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, are being pedantic. The Burwell solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer.

The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

A buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
