What are the implications of not having a certificate? Out house was bult

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.

That does not quite work as everyone (solicitors) knows that you can get
duplicates from FENSA (I've had to do this).

Better to just say there are none and leave it at that.
