AIUI, whatever happens you need to end up with a bit of paper certifying
that your new window meets the latest building regs. A FENSA certified
contractor can issue this bit of paper. Otherwise, you have to pay a fee and
get it inspected by a BCO from the local council.


Nah, the Fensa approved installer ( I dont think any cetification is
involved) is *supposed* to send off details of the instalation to
Fensa and they issue the certificate. This certificate which can take
several months to arrive, has no indication of which windows were
replaced just the date it was done. These instalations are subject to
random inspections by Fensa so if your installer is especialy ashamed
of his shoddy workmanship on your windows he may never even submit
details to Fensa so you will be in a "its lost in the post" situation.

When you sell the buyers solicitor just asks for proof of Fensa
compliance not the certificate so a photocopy of an invoice with a
Fensa number on it would do or just say the windows were installed
before the Fensa regs came in.
