My daughter is buying a house that has had replacement windows approx 10 years ago. The solicitors are saying there are no building regulation documents for this and want an indemnity ins from seller ( and £75 from us for admin)
Are the solicitors trying to pull a fast one ?

The windows should have been FENSA certificated to comply with building regs. if not then indemnity policy is typical and paid for by the seller. Not sure why they are charging you the admin fee though would have thought the fee your daughter is paying for the conveyancing would have covered it ?0

Though the policy only protects against enforcement action by the local authority (not any defect in the windows) and enforcement action only takes place in the 2 years from installation).
So pretty pointless. But mortgage lenders often insist.0
