Hi
6 years ago we converted our loft . We used a good loft company with architectural drawings and applied for building regs/ permitted development. The loft was checked 3 times by building control . It’s a dormer / hip to gable extension. In 2012 it was signed off by building control with a certificate. We are trying to sell our house but our buyers solicitor has said the loft is unlawful and we need a lawful development certificate. He says hip to gable loft require full planning. Since 2008 I thought lofts had their own 50 cubic meters and came under permitted development ? We live in a semi detached house . Has anyone else has similar problems ?
