Update since council visited: - Drain wasn't mentioned at all - They did mention that they need to know if the pipe from the kitchen is a certain diameter so would want to rip the floor up - Want to know if boiler is at 92% efficiency - Bifolds need to have some Aergon thing in them I asked...

Think the builder looked in the manhole cover as I think that's an access point - again this is my very limited knowledge as I had a 6 week old at the time and was very sleep deprived

Events: - Building Control visited numerous times, were happy there were no pipes being built over, so thought nothing of it - Work Complete - BC visited, again were happy said everything was fine - Notice that we failed building regs - I sit on my arse not caring as the work was done - Fast...

If we somehow manage to get the completion certificate when the council come out, would that solve everything?

Good idea - thanks for the info

Too late now anyway, think I may have to get indemnity insurance if they don't issue a completion certificate next week Wondering whether I mention it at all and play dumb, hoping they forget or just be up front about it.

My own wording, may have got that wrong, they just sent a notice saying it failed building regs because of build over problem. I'll see what they say next week when they're out - I'll give Seven Trent a bell as well see what they say.

Yeah maybe just in 3m, but through their inspections they were happy with the work and didn't mention it. Not sure what we would have done as the manhole is next to the house and runs under the kitchen.

Yes sorry, the crappy sewer map showed a sewer but it was in the wrong place and actually already runs under the existing house pre extension. But BC refused because of where it was placed on the map.

Also we have a few viewings this weekend, should I be up front with potential buyers straight away?

I had an extension a few years back, planning permissions fine, we started, building control visited numerous times and no concerns, then they issued a failed notice after the work was done (even though they were supposed to issue anything a few months prior). Reason being was building over...
