I'm selling at the moment. Buyers sent a surveyor who wasn't interested in receipts for windows and cavity insulation. Solicitor has planning permission approval and building regs certificate for all work since I've been here.
We then had questions about FENSA certificate for windows (they pre-date that) and CIGA for cavity wall (it pre-dates that). The receipts would have shown that. They also asked what we'd done about supporting the floor above when we knocked the lounge through to the dining room. There never was a wall between.
They now want to have the gas and electrics examined. The back boiler's over twenty years old, a fact they were made fully aware of. It would fail current regs on several points, but it met all the regs when it was installed.
House buyers - for crying out loud!
