  • It’s the paperwork, inspection side of stuff to be honest. As it stands it’s usable, but not legal. It’s down as storage space on the garage building certificate and it needs to be down as ‘liveable’. I know I need to add a handrail to the stairs and the landing area in the room. I’m not sure what else. I don’t want to get them out to look, in case they say no and then I’d have to remove the plastered walls, ceiling and put in foldable stairs. You can also only have ‘minimal’ fixtures up there.

  • I guess my question is why does it matter right now?

    You need an office. There's an office. What is the actual repercussion of using the space? You don't gain the uplift in property value when you sell, but right now why does it matter? Is it an insurance thing?

  • Insurance is the main thing, but also £$££ at sale time. For reasons there is a point that we will need to sell and I’d like to get all my ducks in a row before that happens.
