Conservatory warranty transfer

I'm in the process of buying a house (built 2007) with a conservatory built in November 2013, there is an existing 10 year warranty with the conservatory, however the company want £210.00 to transfer it into our name, this seems very expensive to probably delete/ insert on a computer spreadsheet! Any advice?

    Advice? Either pay up or do without. I don't think you have any other alternative.

    Inspect the conservaory carefully and if having a survey done, speak to the surveyor.

    If it's in good nick don't bother with the warranty.

    It probobly has loads of exclusions anyway - have you read it?
  • Thanks for the advice, current owners not overly forthcoming with details on conservatory including T & Cs of warranty, I'm concluding that we should thoroughly inspect and form an opinion on whether to bother from there!
