Single brick extension with planning permission

seller87

hi all I am about to put my house on the market when I bought the house it was bought to my attention that the rear 2 walls of my kitchen extension are of single brick construction. The extension was built in the 80s and had planning permission granted and was signed off will this be an issue still when selling as it was built to the standards at that time with the work signed off thanks

It won't be a huge issue if the walls aren't damp. I'm not sure they would have been a single brick thick in the 80s but they might have been solid 9".

A single skin brick wall, like my old garage was, would let water penetrate in driving rain during the winter....and that was very noticeable.

As an aside, a single leaf of brickwork 100/102.5mm wide is "half brick" thick.  Single brick thick is 215mm.

If it does come back as an issue can it be cladded from the outside to overcome this thanks
