Default Windows without building regs/fensa approval

Simon wrote:

I am buying a property, when the seller is unable to provide either building
regs, or a fensa cert for windows installed after April 2002.

I may be "happy" with the windows, however this question will undountable
come back to me when the property is sold by me, unless I replace the
windows in the meantime.

What is the remedy?


If you want the place - get on with it and buy it.

Chances are people will lose interest in this over time - so you may not
even be asked the question when you move.

If you realy want to spend some money for paperwork then you could
either ask the vendor to provide building regulations indemnity
insurance (this is cheap since it is to all intents and purposes
impossible to claim on), or you could apply to have the windows
regularirsed by bulding control (for which they will charge a fee).
