I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Salford solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.

Myself and my fiance have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £250+. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Salford on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
