I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in month 8 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, JPMorgan are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but JPMorgan are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do JPMorgan have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that JPMorgan have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why JPMorgan 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.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed
