Hello, I am about to buy a 3bed end terrace with front and side two storey extension that was completed in 2003.
The searches showed that it was approved by council and a building notice was received. Inspections were carried out from foundation to roof timbers at various stages. The council has said that no satisfactory completion inspection was undertaken and no final build regs certifcate was issued. The council have also said as the extension was finished nearly 8 years ago no action would be appropriate.
Do I need to get a final build regs certifcate from the sellers?
They have offered me "Lack of building regulation consent". I think this is insurance.
