Bought our new build in 2006, never had a Fensa cert or anything.

If it's a new build, it would have all been signed off by the council's building control, or an independent inspector. FENSA is just a scheme that allows window fitters to install and sign off new windows without calling the council's inspectors to examine every window.

We got most of our windows replaced last year, but I don't recall receiving a FENSA certificate. (I'm not saying I didn't receive, one, just that I don't remember getting one).

Does this apply in Scotland? (Where I live).

Edit: - no it doesn't.

Installations in Scotland and Northern Ireland: FENSA applies to the replacement windows and doors to the Building Regulations for England and Wales. The Building Regulations and compliance requirements are different for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Wait and see if it's a problem when you sell. Your buyer (or their solicitor) might decide to make a big deal out of it, in which case you shell out for an indemnity, might not care, or might see that you have a Fensa certificate for something and not bother to check what it's actually for (ie assume it covers everything).
