I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic.

Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
