We're putting our house on the market soon.

About 5 years ago we had our porch converted from old single pane windows and glass front door to double glazed units and UPVC door. Mrs She Said convinced me to get her friends husband to do the work who is a general builder / handyman. He did an ok job, the windows and doors all fitted well and dont leak.

He didnt supply a FENSA cert as he isnt registered. I imagine this is about to come back and bite me in the arse. My understanding is I can get the local council building control to come out and inspect. How much of a ballache is it. Is he going to tell me to rip it all out and get it done again with a FENSA certificate?

As it's a porch would it be exempt? (there is no internal door between porch and house).

OP here

Cheers all. Sounds like one less thing to stress over. If necessary I'll just get an indemnity policy sorted.
