My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Cleator solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate.

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