I'm currently selling my parent's house after the death of my father. Everything was going great until the buyer's survey reported that none of the windows, nor the conservatory, are fitted with safety glass and that they all need replacing. I was taken aback by this as the house was built (actually, completely rebuilt after a major fire) in 1993.
My questions are:
a) How can one tell whether the glass really is safety glass? Is it possible that the survey is wrong?
b) If so, what would be the easiest and cheapest way to establish the truth.
c) If the survey is right, would this glasswork have been legal to install in 1993?
d) If this can happen with a 1993 build, there must be houses being sold all the time with non-safety glass; surely not everyone automatically replaces them?
Any thoughts would be most welcome!
