  • House we are buying has a small extension, just found out no building control sign off... Vendor seems to this this should be our problem. I think they should be paying to get sign off. There's electrics and plumbing/waste but no gas to worry about. Should be fairly straightforward to get sign off no?

  • Maybe.

    If it's built to regs and the council can see that then they'll just sign it off.

    If it's not then they'll make you put it right.

    Did it have the first inspection, just not the last?

    How long ago was it built?

    So long as you don't tell the council you can buy an insurance policy in case they ever come knocking, probably about £2-300.

    Obvs the seller ought to be sorting it since they fucked up.
