(And even if he was reported, what exactly would they do about it?)
Don't be silly, he'd just have to buy indemnity insurance which is a few pounds. Same as the seller of my house did.OP would have trouble when he comes to sell the property if new windows have been fitted and there is no fena/certass or building control certificate , in theory could wipe thousands off the value of the house.........

Nothing, just another piece of paper. I guess it was proposed by the EU as part of its edicts on CO2 and energy taxation. Remember when they brought in compulsory home information packs in the early 2000s? Now reduced to EPCs that are all but ignored by everyone (even the people who perform those surveys admit they're meaningless). Keeps someone in a job though, somewhere.thats interesting....so whats the point of fensa/certass and building control then?
A house which has, for example, a loft conversion with no BC approval is much more likely to be a bodge job, with a weak floor, poor insulation, and no fire protection.whats the point of fensa/certass and building control then?
It's just a certification racket; it's serves no real purpose but itself. Businesses can't realistically expect to operate (for long) without following the rules, but for individual homeowners it so happens the 'punishment' for not getting certified is trivial.why are companies Fensa/Certass registered ....it defeats the whole object of the schemes surely
