No. I'm saying that any competent solicitor, and their client, would

They will ask the questions but if you don't actually lie in your
answers it won't stop a serious buyer. They might ask their surveyor
to pay attention to the windows or what ever but the abscence of a
bit of paper is niether here nor there to most people.

So if you've (say) changed a window in the last 10 years they'd expect
it to be DG. Of course, you could "forget" to mention that, but if the
purchaser then got dinged themselves later, they could sue you.

Highly unlikely once contracts have been exchanged. Buying a house is
very much "buyer beware". So provided you answer any questions
honestly (maybe being a bit "economic with the truth" and to the best
of your knowledge (you are not a window/building regs expert...) the
buyer doesn't really have a case.
