Trying to buy but solicitor keeps finding roadblocks
Comments

I have all the papework and all the invoices for the boiler work/windows and re-wiring and its all done by local firms and was not cheap. I have been round and spoke to the neighbours and they told me the work that was done and basically it was an old gents house who had lived in it for 60 years and it had to be bought up to scratch. My previous house was an 1850's terraced some I am very comfortable living in old houses and aware that money needs to be spent on them and have money available for that.
For me I care not about regulations, just that the work was done to a good standard.
I had a similar issue selling my terrace a few months ago, because I had new doors and guttering the buyers solictor kept asking for FENSA certs and such like, I just said I dont have any and wont be providing them to the buyer, but she was a cash buyer so she pushed it through0 -

Fortunately your mortgage provider will care about these regulations.0 -
I don't really understand your issue.
Your solicitor has 'advised' you to get insurance. You don't want it. So instruct your solicitor accordingly.
Clarify with your solicitor whether your lender has any issues and if so what.
The solicitor is doing their job, spotting potential legal issues. Now you need to do your job by responding appropriately.
