I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain.

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