yes build control do need to be involved in both cases
here you demonstrate your lack of procedural understanding,
can you think how it is that BC are involved if a fensa or part p electrician is involved??

think about it

Building Control are a department at the local council. If Building Regulations are adhered to and the appropriate people provide certificates, Building Control do not need to be involved. The problem lies where you lack a basic grasp on the English Language.

Without the certificates, I've suggested that sign off is obtained once the work is complete. Try patronising me again when you've mastered the art of stringing a sentence together correctly.

Does the price you're considering reflect the potential for a loft conversion or is it just something that you could gain from if you had the time/money to sort it?

We bought a 4 bed semi to rent just over 2 years ago just to discover 2 weeks before completion that the stairs were illegal, let alone anything else that had been done in the loft. We could (and may do at a later date) have gone through everything with Building regs and got it sorted but we took the view that we'd got a bit of a bargain and it would be a bonus if we could use the loft as legal living space at a later date.

We chopped up the spiral staircase with an angle grinder and closed the loft door! House hasn't lost value and who knows sometime in the future we may convert it back to a 4 bed semi.
