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.


No enforcement action can be started relating to a structure built more
than one year ago. So the simplest remedy is to sack your solicitor and
forget that he wasted everybody's time asking for BR approvals. If you
are asked the same question when you come to sell the property, pass
this information on to your purchaser, and advise him to sack his
solicitor too.

whethere enfordement action can be taken as not

Would YOU buy a property that may have been built shoddily?

No, but do you imagine that a piece of paper from a contractor
self-certifying his materials
and work is a warranty that shoddy materials and workmanship have not
been used?
