I sold a flat last December that i’d had replacement windows put in throughout. I didn’t have a FENSA certificate which tge buyers solicitor had requested so i paid about £100 for indemnity insurance and the sale went through with no issues

Thanks, I will ask them tomorrow re: that.
I hope the BC cert will be enough anyway. All internal walls in the house were knocked down at the time of extending, so technically the cert should cover all the windows I guess?

Huffers, it would probably be cheaper to do the indemnity thing, ask your solicitor to get a quote and they will set it up for you if needed. BUT if you have a completion certificate from BC that would imply they are ok anyway?

Thanks for the replies. I've seen online that you can also get the council to come out and sign them off if you didn't obtain a FENSA cert at the time.

As far as I’m aware building control overrides the need for a fensa certificate - from former solicitor questionnaires I’m sure they ask for either.
Either way, the worst case scenario is you can offer to pay indemnity insurance, which would cover your buyer in the event that the council ever tell them that they need to rip the windows out. This cost us around £50 for a roof replacement that I was unaware needed BC approval, when we sold about 5 years ago.
But the point is that the council won’t ask them to rip the windows out as you have BC certificate. Tell your solicitor to get off his fat sweaty arse and explain this to the buyers solicitors.

It’s the FENSA accredited Installers that supply them.

Then wipe your appendage on them, the estate agent and their lawyer.

They're just trying to get a few quid off the asking price. Tell them you havenr got one and the price you want is still the price you want.
