Default FENSA Certificate

What are the implications of not having a certificate? Out house was bult
with wooden double glazed windows (No certificate then) Over the last
couple of years I have had 5 windows replaced with UPVC framed double
glazing with thermal glass. However, it was several cash in hand jobs and
no certificates were offered or sought.
In the unlikely event of selling the house, what might this mean? Could I
say that I have reduced to price to allow the new buyer to have FENSA
certified frames fitted? Could I get some document from the (reputable)
frame makers? What are the issues?


Wait until it becomes an issue - if it does - when you come to sell the
house. Then say that you've lost the certificate and that the company
which did the work is no longer in business. Unless there are any
obvious problems with the windows, the lack of certificate is unlikely
to affect the sale. If it *does* there are - as others have said -
various indemnity insurance policies which you can buy for not very much.
