I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic.

The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
