Loft conversion

We are currently seeking legal advice and sent them the quotes and payment details.
I forgot to mention that we also had a balcony put in the loft too. The guy building the loft said we don't need planning permission for the loft but do for the balcony.
The Balcony is now a separate issue as that has too come down now.
The guy from the council was really nice, we explained everything and he said that he'll get in contact with the company.
This is the letter he sent.

Do you have a contract with the builder and what does it say about compliance with building regs and who is responsible for arranging inspection.
Whilst that is very kind of the BCO to write to the builder it still leaves you ultimately responsible for the works, if the builder refuses to play ball then it will have to be the court route for you I'm afraid.
It's idiots and chancers like this that give builders a bad reputation.0
