I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in month 7 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate.

It is probably the case that The Chorley & District Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer.

It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
