Hi all,
Have posted before but have slightly more info now.
Basically buying a property which was sold as 2 bed semi which also has a loft storage room.
The loft storage room is accessed from the second bedroom via a door and it has a full staircase up to the loft. The loft does has a velux window.
Now I know that the loft does not have any building regs certificates due to the age of the work, and my solicitor assures me that as it is advertised as a loft storage room there are no problems assuming we are not intending to use it as a habitable room - we aren't.
Does anyone know of any implications to this situation?
We don't intend to use electric appliances there (although light fitting and sockets are hardwired in)
We would plan to use it for storage and in the future maybe look to renovate it professionally to standard (Reinforce floor/roof overhaul/insulation etc.)
Thanks.. any advice very welcome.
