My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being difficult. The Maze Hill solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate.

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