Its a buyers market and the bank knows it and is taking the [EMAIL="P@ss"]P@ss[/EMAIL]. It will cost you to get it and the architect may not rec if its not finished correctly. Tell the couple you dont have one and see what they come back with from the bank.

Bad advice. That could cost the OP the sale....

When selling the solicitors for the purchaser needs to know that all planning permissions are in place, or, where extensions are built without planning, that they are exempt from planning.

This is achieved by means of a cert of compliance (if planning was required) and a cert of exemption (if planning wasn't required).

This is a very common scenario and is to be considered proper practise.

i agree its not solid advice but doubt it will cost the sale. It will give them the chance to see how determined the couple are at buying.

Just a heads up before the OP goes ringing around - I appreciate a little aside from the original question, but could help the OP.

Could the OP describe the conservatory, e.g. is it glazed on three sides and how far it is approx. on each side from the boundary walls.

The reason I ask is that I have seen numerous examples of conservatories built, both by 'professional' conservatory companies and as DIY jobs, with glazing less than 1.0m from a boundary wall. If there is glass/windows (no matter how high) less than 1.0m from a boundary wall, it needs planning permission. I have had to decline to prepare an opinion on compliance for this situation a number of times.

Indeed .

Not to mention the small matter of escape in case of fire - does your galzed roof ( if it is galzed - not always the case ) foul the b regs required access to / from bedroom windows located over head ?
