Building regs

[Stressedseller]

Am about to put my house on the market so am trying to get my ducks in order and have realised that I had a window replaced around 2010 by a non fensa registered tradesman so I have no certificate.

My understanding is I can take out indemnity insurance against their being any issues or I could apply for retrospective building approval? Any ideas which is best? My main concern with applying for regs is if the work is not approved? Presumably this could cost me a lot more? FWIW the window is a double glazed non opening window with wooden frames which replaced the previous upvc window.

Just fill in the form your solicitor sends you truthfully once you have agreed a sale and let them deal with it then. You solicitor will advise you. If the buyer's solicitor picks up on it you will probably have to purchase an indemnity, but I don't think a replacement window is something it would be worth trying to obtain retrospective building control sign off.

Ok thanks for the info

As i understand it the indemnity insurance is to guard against enforcement action from the local authority.
I also think that no enforcement action will

Sorry posted too soon
No action will be taken after 24 months .
In summary don't worry about it.
