If they took great care to make sure it conformed to the regs, it wouldn't have been that much trouble to get it signed off. Apart from the fire Regs, the floors joists are a really important issue. Generally speaking the ceiling joists are not strong enough the take the extra loading, but in cheaper conversions without Regs this is not usually done as it's a lot of extra work.Chris1001 said:The current owners just say that they didn't have time to do this originally and took great care when converting the attic and believe it conforms with regulations.2 -
The sellers believe it conforms with building regulations , but it doesn’t as no fire doors.
That is a safety risk.
What other pieces of the regulations does it not conform to?Yes, she is paying the price of a 3 bedroom house but only getting a 2 bedroom house with a floored attic.What is her solicitor saying?2
