I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, UBS are being a right pain. The West Beckton solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate.

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