Hey hey!
My survey says windows and a knocked through door should have building regs, but no building regs are present - work was done around 35 years ago at least. What do I do? Try to get the work certified retrospectively?
N.b. I am buying the property (first time buyer, so no experience of this)

I wouldn't be worrying about it, trying to get retrospective cert will be a headache and pointless if its been done 35 years ago imo

It would fail surely anyway, unless they’d apply the building standards of the time to it, which I can’t imagine they would? So they’d be applying modern 2023 regs to building work from the 1980s, and nothing built in the 80s would be up to those new standards would it?
