I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being problematic. The Raunds solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.

I have instructed a local conveyancing lawyer in Raunds. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Raunds conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money approved list.
