Building Control help

[fedupathome]

We're in the process of selling our house.
We've got a replacement conservatory roof on our house, we replaced the plastic polycarbonate one with a tiled roof.
We had the work done 2 years ago with a reputable company who used private building control inspectors to sign off the work.

The buyers solicitor was sent off the initial notice of acceptance from the council and the final certificate 3 times and is refusing to accept it and keeps asking for our building control completion certificate and has said if we don't have it to buy indemnity insurance.

Our conveyancers are useless I'm not sure what to do ! Worried about our sale falling through.

I've spoken to the company that did the roof and the private building control as well as the council and they've advised me the documentation I would need would be the initial notice acceptance and the final certificate which I've sent !

You don’t have to accept to pay for the indemnity insurance. Our solicitor asked for one for some work our vendors did 20 years ago and they flat out refused.

A final certificate from an approved inspector is the same thing as a completion certificate from the council - you'd never have both. I'm appalled that the solicitor doesn't know this?

Tell them the certificate from the approved inspector is the same as a building control certificate and that there wont be anything else.

As above. DH used to work for both LABC and a couple of AIs.
You get a completion certificate from either LABC if you use their services, or the AI if you "go private" so to speak.

Your buyers solicitor is just plain wrong.
