What have you been told that the risk is? That the freeholder will force you to reinstate the original floor plan, that the council will, that it's going to fall down?
It doesn't strike me as a problem unless there's some risk attached to it.

Will ask solicitor, not entirely sure if I am honest. It is in a conservation area so need PP to do anything, though that may be just external stuff e.g. windows.
The stained glass window and extraction (bathroom/kitchen) could be a problem too. With the window, it needs work which may be more expensive than I thought, if even possible to change it. And then the only extraction/ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen is too little vents in the glass. The boiler has a flue goes out of the external wall, which they managed either without permission.
Not sure what the solution is to the stained window and how to fit extractors. Will chat to solicitor and other flats. Surveyor was saying that is one of the problems converting a house to flats. In the original floorplan, where the stained glass window is would have been a hallway so would have been fine.

leasehold flat, floorplan currently different to how it was on the lease. No structural walls changed according to the surveyor. Has anyone had this? My solicitor will advise (indemnity insurance etc) but just wondering if anyone has experience. Cheers
