Detail and evidence your works. Comply with regs and if you need then apply for regularisation retrospectively you have the evidence. Even beyond this I believe you can buy a policy to mitigate loss on the part of the purchaser.
There are policies to mitigate loss on a purchase but not suitable for continued ownership Most building control will if they dislike what they see make life difficult and frown upon fact they were not involved In addition fees are higher. Do it right first time is easier
Waste of time, how do you know the build was carried out to the correct building regs approval, any builder that builds without it are not true builders, it means no part of the build was checked by a building inspector, footings could be wrong, floors could be wrong, the whole place could be unsafe
100mm of external grey foam and internally (he says at 5:41s) construct a timber frame inside 50mm of celotex or kingspan...consider you need now 12.5mm of plasterboard and then 2mm of plaster before paint. Do the math on your property with laser and a cad software and you lose MINIMUM 3 square meters. You are gonna end up with a wall of 384.5mm (100mm external wall insulation + 220mm existing brick wall + 50mm internal insulation+12.5mm plasterboard + 2mm plaster) . Do you really need that????? Who would in reality add insulation on both faces of the wall.
@@Mr.Gui.monteiro I hear what you say. Meeting building regs is the target you could put all insulation on the inside but that will reduce floor area as you say. Insulating some on the outside loses less internal space
Why do you need an RSJ. Has a structural engineer advised this. You don't usually put an RSJ in for a velux. A large velux you'd double truss to strengthen
I bought the house over 20 years ago with a converted attached garage & the seller said because he was a builder he did not need to apply for B Reg however I want to sell the house now, how do I apply for a B Reg ?

Indemnity insurance for houses that have no planning or building regulations approval is a waste of time, I am just going through the buying process for a property, and it's come to light that the side extension to the property has no planning permission or building regs approval, now I think due to the size of the extension it would come under permitted development, but that doesn't get away from the fact it doesn't have building regs approval, that basically means at no point during the build was any of it inspected, ie footings, drainage, floor slab, roof, steel works, an indemnity won't help you sell the house on, what you will require, and it's what I'm going to ask for is a regularisation certificate, the council will request that areas of the existing extension are checked, they may ask for the steel to be exposed, or floor, they will ask for test holes to be dug in various areas, and only issue a certificate when they are happy that the building regulations at the time of the build where followed, please don't rely on pointless indemnity insurance, that won't stop the piece of steel falling on your head while your watching TV
Thank you, I deal with building control and planning in my day job, I was told, but the extensions been up over 10 years, my response was "says who" how can you prove that, I won't be lumbering myself with an illegal build, otherwise I'm buying the problems, anyway I've told them get it retrospectively or I'm walking away @@PropertyWithAndrew
Yes a regularisation application is required. The building inspector can only regulate what the regulations were at the time of the works were done. So some of the current requirements now would not have been needed say if the works were done 20 yr ago. So if the person who build the en suite complied with the regulations at the time then you will be fine. Only issue being is the the building inspector has the right to ask you to open up certain things to see how it was constructed.
Im in disagreement with my bco in that I have installed a toilet under the stairs which has an openable window about 1/2 the size of the floor, but they now say I need an extractor too! This isn’t required from what ive seen regarding the regs, how do I argue against building control if Im correct though?
You need to quote the part F building reg you feel relevant Its ok having a window but in winter high wind and snow and rain are you going to use it? The regs cater for all scenarios Quote from building regs and ask what they are relying on to over turn your understanding
I've sold my house and I've only had it for 5years and the buyer solicitor is asking for plans for the 17 year old conservatory which was added on by the previous owners. What do I do?? Home report came as 1 for the conservatory and it's small 3x4 located at the back garden. Please advice
Thanks. When I purchased the property this wasn't brought to my attention?? I think my solicitor said I can take some insurance?? I can't mind what its called.
@@darrenmackenzie1892 buyer takes insurance as its insuring risk for them council say pull down. Sounds like buyer using a call centre conveyancing company with junior people
forget building regs rip off and hassle. if you later sell your property, just do an indemnity insurance which ironically is cheaper than building control fees. don't like guys like mike woods try and blag you otherwise....
So if you changed some wooden door lintels for concrete ones years ago, an indemnity insurance policy would work for this instead of trying to get building regs regularise this???

My house had loads of unsigned off work done (I only realised long after I bought it) and it was accepted by the banks no problem...😳
That's positive. Its the surveyor who would flag anything up if its a concern visually to him

What can you do if you have already bought the house but the previous owner had added an en suite without building regs approval?
Submit a regularisation application

Hi Andrew I was wondering if I was to move Mt kitchen to another room would I need Building Regulation approval?
If you are not all drink the mains drains the foreign pipe outside in the ground then you will be OK to move it

Advise was on when purchased give sale details of when you bought to evidence and if not happy tell buyer to buy insurance for it if worried

Nobody would know you changed anything, you've not built an extension without proper planning or building control
