    Outbuilding height question please

    AFAIK it's the 4 year rule. Not the 10 year rule. In anycase you are beyond the 10 year period anyway.

    Outbuilding height question please

    Why does it matter if it was built 13 years ago? It's well beyond the time frame by which any planning enforcement can be applied.

    Prospective purchase - basement tanking

    Yes as above, unless you have really good history/evidence of what's been done you probably need to budget for a really good system update. So the house has a basement? Have you checked what parts of the building are in the listing?

    Cavity closures at eaves for the residual cavity - 100mm cavity, 90mm PIR

    Don't get too hung up on the terminology, the closer ought to be fire rated, used to be the case that a bit of slate or steel plate would do, they're probably still accepted. The condensation or cavity bridging issue is of no concern, besides the kind of closer mentioned is typically a bit of...

    Planed Fence post disaster - Major splits and Bowing

    Agreed, you might get some kid of refund but on a hiding top nothing to think you'll get anything else. See how it fares and if you can't live with it cut your losses and re-do it.

    More important is seeing for yourself as to whether the work was done OK (if you can), if the rafters are adequately supported as are the window heads then jobs a good'un. When was the work done? Got any photos? Speak to the owner. Bear in mind the usual surveyors get out clauses and hiding...

    Type of roof for a small extension

    Garage Conversion - Going for it but some questions.

    You won't know what they'll want until you ask, they might tell you over the phone but then no guarantee you'll get the same inspector when you put the Notice it. In modern houses they typically carry on the strip under the garage door anyway as it makes building the footings easier.

    New Tiled Bathroom

    Silicone everywhere for me, it won't look out of place provided the colour is right and it's done neatly. I would question why wouldn't you seal between the floor and the walls/pan on a floor that's likely to get wet.
