Pmlindyloo is right. It's all about the lender's view on this. You can have your structural report and be happy but ultimately they can choose to lend or not, likewise when you come to sell in the future. And an indemnity will not be possible. That's why I said the seller will have to look in to getting the certificate, one way or another. It's their fault for alerting the council in the first place. (and their fault for not getting the building inspector to do their job in the first place)

TBH alarm bells are ringing for me - what do they mean, take the roof off? Does this mean they remember the builder saying the inspector wanted something done a certain way, and he disagreed and did it differently, so they know it does not comply? I don't like it.

I did worry initial, but the fact that the seller mentioned it early and it seemed like they panicked and caled the LA, makes me think they are being honest, but I shall ask them try and obtain a BR regularisation as suggested by kingstreet.

Thanks

Agreed - it's the only way forward
