  • They've taken a wall out, somewhere, right? You'd probably need to look in to that. That back room would have been a separate kitchen and dining room.

    so it's not separated inside, see pic here

    The portal there was probably double doors and opened out in to the garden. They've just removed the doors. It could be reinstated easily.

  • @Howard they're sending over a full building survey from when the neighbour had their extension so will check that, and if successful in my offer my full survey / solicitors would hopefully pick up on that? 2 up 2 down so yeah I imagine thin kitchen and the rest of it would have been a dining room.

  • I'd just cut to the chase and say 'where is the building control cert for the wall removal'

    If there isn't one, I'd be like 'bye!' There's enough weirdness in that kitchen / conservatory that would make me wonder what else is hiding.

  • If it's a "conservatory" it needs to be on a separate heating "loop" or whatever - and have doors to isolate it from the main house - this is to circumvent the heat/energy loss requirements of the building regs - but it needs to meet the building regs for glazing Uvalues and electrics.

    If it's an "extension" with a glass roof and doors you need sap calcs to confirm the heat loss is within the regs and you need to meet all other building regs.

    The size and scale of it probably is within permitted development rights tho
