Hi there,
I am selling a property that has had structural alterations done (knocking a lounge/parlor into a through lounge. This was done prior to purchase, and on the valuation the valuer put:
The original dining room and lounge have been converted into one large living room (more than 10 years ago). We assume the necessary consents exists.
Now we come to sell it and the buyers solicitor is kicking up a fuss.
What is the rule and the legislation affecting old building works - our local Estate Agent mentioned that there is a statute of limitations of sorts on this so after 6 or 7 years it does not matter.
Any help (especially quick) is appreciated.
