Although I pointed out that section 36(6) is only likely to come into play if the structure was defective and/or dangerous and that the work took place more than 40 years ago without collapsing - I was still overruled.<br /><br />With regard to seeking retrospective approval - I have only done that once and this caused a delay of 18 weeks as the structure did not comply with the current buildings regulations ( note these are always being updated) so works had to be carried out and there was a 10 week waiting list for Buildings control inspections! client was not happy, transaction nearly collapsed - I have not done this again! Indemnity insurance is my usual course accompanied by clear and detailed advice to the client as to the risks involved. <br /><br />Ursula Moorehttp://thetitleconsultancy.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
