I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in month 6 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Market Harborough Building Society are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the Market Harborough Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Market Harborough Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Market Harborough Building Society have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Market Harborough Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Market Harborough Building Society 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.
