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

Oh didn't know that, that's good to know. We'll look to do a proper conversion of the loft next year so handy to know.
On another note my misses is on the phone to Monzo as there is a transfer limit of £10k per day. Not great when a chunk more than that for the deposit is needed by the solicitors tomorrow to enable us to exchange 🤬

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!
