  • The house we're buying had some velux windows put in the loft when they had the roof done and they "might" not have permission. Our lawyers obtained an indemnity insurance for £80 which we suggested we just split as (a) in the grand scheme a tiny amount and (b) matter of principle. Husband of vendor said "No" but as the boiler hasn't been serviced we agreed that we'd pay for the insurance and they'd get the boiler serviced before we exchange and complete. I'm pretty happy with that and fingers crossed for a clean bill of health for the boiler. Service is Tue and due to complete and exchange on Wednesday!

    You can do this under permitted development rights anyway (except in a listed building / conversation area with an article 4 directive stating otherwise).
