Indemnity from Previous Owner

Hello - we've just accepted an offer on our house yesterday. We bought 3 years ago and the previous owner purchased indemnity insurance to cover lack of building regs/fensa certs for our double glazing windows which they did themselves. I believe this covers all future owners but I'm not sure whether I pass this on via my solicitor or to the estate agent.
Whats the best way to handle this?
Thanks

One for you solicitor to deal with.0

When I sold my last house it was the legal firm I used that requested copies of all Fensa certificates for the house.0

Im not sure on the cost of the insurance but ive just had to pay out for copies of my fensa certificates at £20 each (two separate installs so £40 in total) and a further £6 for the building regs cert for the install of the boiler. Wonder if it would have been cheaper to get insurance

Your solicitor. The estate agents won't know one end of the indemnity policy from the other.0
