Looking for advice from the WSCC building fraternity and anorak society We have a house (bungalow actually ) up for sale which belonged to the Wifes mother. Last year we had the property fully re furbished , we thought everything was in place until we get a letter from our solicitor saying we need to provide a FENSA certificate for the replacement doors and windows (double glazed units) Now our solicitor tells us it is illegal to sell a house which has had replacement windows fitted since 2002 , unless it has a FENSA certificate . We have approached the contractor who fitted them but as he is not FENSA self certificated he cannot provide the cert . We have a receipt from the double glazing supplier to say the installed windows are FENSA compliant , apparently this is not good enough We have been told to contact the local authority who can supply a cert as it comes under building regs . All this sounds like codswallop to me , how can it not be possible to sell your house just because the windows don't fully comply ? Any help or advice gratefully received Thanks
