I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being difficult. The Long Eaton solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate.

The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
