House Selling: Client Enquiry Form

[JBW1366]

I am in the process of selling my home and buying another. I received today a 'Client Enquiry Form' and its states that we answer the questions correctly because the buyer is entitled to rely on them in deciding whether to proceed with the purchase.

well it says in respect of SPIF 4.1, any alterations to the original construction is aware of, including dates and permission, building regulations approval together with certificate etc:

we had a separate bathroom and toilet and we combined them in 2014, the builder didn't give us any forms or anything. Also we had a massive second bedroom which we converted into two, no external walls were changed no windows or radiators were moved, only stud (?) walls were dismantled and others erected. Also was told to the buyer when he viewed and it was stated on the sale advert, converted bathroom and three bedrooms.

so my questions is what do I put on the form, yes it has been converted and permission was not required?

Please help, nervous now. surely loads of people convert the inside go their properties?

thanks in advance

Simply be honest:

"A single bedroom was converted into two separate bedrooms in 2014. The work solely involved changes to stud walls. At the same time a separate bathroom and WC were combined into a single room.

My understanding was, and remains, that neither planning permission nor building regulation approval was required for either of these modifications".

[NB: It's always best to refer to 'my understanding', rather than directly saying 'permission was not required', because if it turns out that you actually should have sought permission you can't then be accused of lying]
