At what point does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Woodhall Spa and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, are being pedantic. The Woodhall Spa solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
