Indemnity Policy when building control are aware

We are in the process of buying a house and meant to be completing tomorrow! We need an indemnity policy for the garage conversion that was done in 2008, the problem is building regulations know about the alteration because it was part of the planning permission to also extend the upstairs, however, the upstairs wasnt done. So planning permission still stands on the house so there is not a completion certificate. My solicitors insurance are saying they wont cover any indemnity because building regs are aware it was being built, please does any body know who would cover this? or any ideas what to do otherwise we have to get building control to inspect it and sign it off which could take ages i presume and we have to complete by the end of the month!!

I assume you mean exchange tomorrow not complete tomorrow

Don’t exchange until you have the paperwork in place

We were going to exchange and complete in the same day

Planning and building regs are seperate. Just because it has planning doesn't mean the council know.

But it is down to the insurers at the end of the day,
