I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Colerne solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Colerne
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Colerne conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
