"You can get a fensa registered fitter to sign off the installation as up to standard. I fitted all my own window frames after buying them myself at cost price. A builder buddy of mine got a fitter to inspect and sign the installation off." This doesn’t guarantee the windows and bi folds though does it. I’m 24 hours from exchanging and need to sort | |||

"To answer all in one post When I bought the house I was in a bad place and got zero warranties from the seller before he dissapeared. It had permission for everything from the council as it was extensively extended. There are no names on the windows so I can’t even ring them. Is it something that I need to worry about, to get them indemnified ( if that’s the right word) does someone need to come check them. As meant to be exchanging tomorrow or Monday.

"Unfortunately some people need to be realistic when buying property. Most warranties will cover initial manufacture issues or may cover discoloration of frames. As I understand it with the fensa scheme of window installers, if fensa was used, building reg certification wasn't needed - wasn't a guarantee/ warrantee on the windows. " All they want is a guarantee from someone that if the windows or bi folds break they are covered. So an indemnity insurance is the quickest cheapest way I guess | |||

"Who would think anyone would make that much fuss over Windows that were in the house before you bought them. Definitely something for your solicitor. The buyer isn’t, the buyers solicitor is" I'm pretty sure when we moved house last year our solicitor sorted out window indemnity for a small fee. Give them a quick ring tomorrow x | |||

The buyer isn’t, the buyers solicitor is" The solicitor's are covering their arses with such things to save a case against them post purchase if your buyer was not happy etc.. did your buyers have a full survey done? | |||

"Just tell the buyers you don’t have any documentation for the windows. It’s part of the process to hand over any docs or certificates where they are available. The FENSA protection certainly won’t provide any guarantees or warranty for your new buyers as they didn’t pay for the installation and the guarantees / warranties are not transferable I had all the certificates etc when buying the place I own now, the windows were installed by a FENSA company but there’s no warranty for me despite discovering faults in the installation. " The buyers knows, but his solicitor is telling him she will not budge on this and wants the guarantee from whoever installed them. | |||

Compared to the prices windows/doors were years ago, they're not that expensive now even if they did need to be changed & would be easy to get a near match. Overly fussy purchaser I guess ![]() | |||

And it’s unlikely the windows will fail so I wouldn’t feel bad. | |||
