Hi, I'm hoping to buy a house but the garage conversion has no building regs sign off and I can't see any planning application filed. I understand I can't use it as a bedroom, but where do I stand with this? Is there a way of easily finding out what I'd need to do to get it to meet building regs?
The house was built in 2006 and owned by 1 person since. I can see they tried to sell it in 2013 and the conversion is showing on the floor plans at that point, so it must be old.
All I can see is a stud wall, plastered walls, and a couple of electric panel heaters. The survey has revealed damp in the walls, and suggested the addition of a French drain as the external floor is the same height as internal.
I don't want the hassle when trying to sell it in the future, but haven't found another suitable home, and the sale of mine is about to complete.
