Hi,
Having read a few of the other threads i'm hoping that some of you very nice and helpful people might be able to help me out of a pickle!
5 years ago and shortly after buying my first house I took some rather poor advice and built a small single storey extension including a storm porch to the front of my property. I have been granted retrospective planning permission and am currently dealing with a rather unhelpful building regulations inspector. He has asked to see quite a few things (removing bricks/tiles, uncovering footings, etc) none of which I have any major issues with as it is ultimately my error. However, he did say that due to the pitch of the roof (approx 25 degrees) I must replace all the tiles with a more appropriate tile (unspecified) despite the fact the roof was already in place prior to the extension, and the extension simply built out to this existing roof. This would obviously be quite expensive! I am now considering my options.
Anyway, my question is... what would the fallout be if I never received the building regulations certificate? Would it likely affect/de-value/hold up the sale of the property should I sell it? Would I/the buyer have to gain some kind of insurance?
Any thoughts, recommendations or observations would be warmly received. Thanks in advance.
Matt
