  • Has anyone asked their solicitor questions after completing? I think as long as it's within a few months hopefully they'll help me

    -thinking about getting retrospective permission for my back windows getting changed by previous owners.
    -not sure if I need PP to retrofit double glazing on front side original sashes (conservation area, not listed)

    And a few other bits

  • Has anyone asked their solicitor questions after completing?

    I did. They were helpful.

    -thinking about getting retrospective permission for my back windows getting changed by previous owners.

    That doesn't often need permission. I wouldn't bother, it's unlikely anyone will ever challenge it.

    -not sure if I need PP to retrofit double glazing on front side original sashes (conservation area, not listed)

    I think you do. Call the council and ask. There is a reasonable chance you aren't allowed to do that at all, you will not get planning permission, in a conservation area.

  • Cheers sounds good. Had a couple of builders round who know the area. One said you can't retrofit but you can change them for replica double glazing, one suggested the retro fit.

    This. Don't kick the nest. The longer it's left, the more likely it is they'll be treated as having waived the breach or right to forfeit.
