I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, are being difficult. The Edenbridge solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance 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 reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
