Hello all... We are in the process of buying our first house.
As we are new to this whole process and the house has been standing since about 1930, there are a few questions we have... Main one at the moment is regards a loft conversion which was done in 1995. We have not been provided with planning permission for this, but we have been provided with a 'completion of building regulation work' certificate.
Do we need to push for a copy of the planning permission (current owner did the conversion)?
Is there be some kind of statute of limitations on planning permission so that even if it wasn't applied for or approved at the time because it's been standing almost 20 years it will be allowed to remain?
Thanks!
