We are currently in the process of selling our first house that we have lived in for over 10 years. We are completing the various forms but am concerned by some work we had done as part of a kitchen renovation 8 years ago.
As part of the renovation we had a large window removed and replaced with a smaller one (approx. 1.5ft narrower x 2ft shorter) in order to allow cabinets to be placed along one side of the kitchen. This new window is identical to the other in the kitchen and was installed by a FENSA certified installer, I also have the certificate for proof. No structural works were completed (the lintel was already in place and wider than the new window) and all the bricks for the infill were matched. Clearly I am not going to withhold this from the buyer and I'm pretty sure that this work is allowed under permitted development but should we have anything for building regs? The room itself has not changed in size inside nor in it's use. The house is also not listed or in an area subject to any special conservation etc...
Not sure if I am worrying for no reason but I can't find anything that tells me exactly! Thanks in advance
