Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS.

The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Oundle.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being problematic. The Oundle solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander 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.
