Can answer the 1st one but the 2nd one seems nonsense. Ive never heard of needing building regs certs for adding a toilet in although it maybe different down in London. Part of me thinks like the solicitor is trying to get them money off.

Yeah I can't see their argument on the en suite as it didn't involve any re-routing of the soil pipe. Plus it's 10 years old.
They're also saying the rear decking and extension "would appear to use up at least 50% of the garden" so the decking would also need planning...??!How much is indemnity insurance? Online says "few hundred pounds".
Survey is this Thursday so hoping that sorts a few things out

More shenanigans. More stress.
New buyers' solicitor is querying some of the work we've had done over the years. Insisting we provide planning permission or proof that it's not needed. We have no planning permission or Building Regs certificates other than for the bifold doors.
1) We built a rear semi-extension on the exact footprint of an existing conservatory six years ago. We put on a proper roof, one extra brick wall (one was there already), and bifolds.
We removed the windows and doors from the rear of the kitchen to make it semi-open plan but the load bearing middle section is still in place.
We're claiming permitted development.
Solicitor saying as it's "open to the kitchen area" building regs would be needed.
We're not going to get it signed off.
Is this where Indemnity Insurance may be needed?
2) We had an en suite put in the main bedroom in 2010.
It connected to the same soil pipe as the main bathroom which is next to it separated by a wall.
Solicitor saying it would have needed Building Regs certificate.
Do I need to worry about this?
