Any surveyors on here?

Currently attempting to buy a fairly unusual property.
Its a swimming pool building built 22 years ago, and converted last year into a dwelling. No one has lived in it yet.
All works seems to have been carried out correctly as far as we can tell, however the mortgage company surveyor inspected it last week and their report states that its a new build, and therefore needs a building warranty. Seller says its just a refurb so there wont be a warranty on the building, and its been standing for 22 years.
The alternative requirement in the absence of a warranty was confirmation of a professional being involved - the architect involved wasn't very helpful, I assume due to new build being mentioned.
The building regs sign off has been sent to the mortgage company but I don't know if this will be sufficient.
Anyone had similar experiences like this? We really want this property!!
