Hello
I purchased a house in May 2008. It came with a conservatory extension, which was built circa 2004. The property itself was built from new in 1995
I was provided with approved planning permission for the conservatory, which I have obviously passed on to my solicitors. The planning permission also appears on the local council website as 'decided'
After my property purchase completed, I was provided with regulation approval documents relating to double glazing windows, which were fitted at the same time the conservatory was installed
I am now selling the property and the buyers solicitors have said:
"We have provided the planning documentation you have supplied in relation to the conservatory. Please can you let me have the building regulation approval and completion certificate for the conservatory."
I do not have these docs nor was I issued them. I've done a search on the 'building control' section of my local council website and nothing appears in relation to the conservatory, but the aforementioned windows do and the dates state:
Notice Received: 29/02/2008
Completion: 06/03/2008
That would imply to me the seller obtained the regulation prior to selling the property...but it would seem not for the conservatory - ?
Where does this leave me as a seller? I am desperate to complete this sale as it's been lingering on since May. As ever the quicker you want these things to happen the slower they take!
I am assuming this is not a 'show stopper' in terms of proceeding with the sale? Do I have to fork out some more money to get this sorted out!?
Many thanks
