Hi, so sorry if this is so long.
I am having to sell my house this year. traditional 3 bed semi, had an extension along the back of the house 9 years ago and took out window from back living room and door from small kitchen to open it up and also knocked wall out between kitchen wall and back living room. so all open plan except for the pillar in the middle which was part of the supporting wall in the living room. had 4 metre wide patio doors going out to the garden, radiator fitted in the extension part also. I didn't have building regs , I had no clue and God knows why the builder didn't advise. Was working full time with 3 small children and on my own so it all just happened. I have no choice but to sell the house this year and am really concerned that it will put a stop to the sale. is there anyway without getting the LA to inspect that I could get in to advise? I have looked at private approved inspectors but it looks like they don't do retrospective. any advice would be so welcome. Thank you
