Hi, as I am struggling to get any advice from the valuation surveyor I was hoping to get a guide here... I am purchasing a 2 bed mid terraced house built approx 1982. From the living room, there is then a small extension which is open plan to the lounge (no inner doors separate the areas) and then there is double glazed patio doors onto the garden.
The mortgage valuation survey has placed a retention on the property stating that the extension does not meet habitable requirements. The only detail provided is:
Rear extension is constructed of timber frame with external timber cladding and insulated plasterboard internally. Not thought ot be of habitable standard.
And to release the retention:
To upgrade the rear extension to comply with habitable requirements or demolish it and reinstate rear patio doors
If anyone has any ideas on what the regulations/requirements may be to upgrade I would be very grateful
