    If the windows were installed before April 2002 a FENSA certificate is not required as they did not have to comply with the building regulations.
    Any windows or doors fitted pre 2002 still had to comply with Building regulations.

    FENSA is just a self certification scheme whereby installers sign off their own work as complying with regulations. FENSA is only interested in whether or not the installation complies with building regulations and not interested in making sure the installation is done well as long as it complies.......

    quite often these things are picked up by the conveyancers working for solicitors, they are often working from checklists and see themselves as the most important jobsworths in the process. so your solicitors can arrange a simple insurance certificate, and they make even more money, the buyers solicitors get to say how good they are, and charge the buyer additional fees as it wasn't a straight forward purchase!
