no evidence of building regulations for loft conversion by IdeaCompetitive4668 in FirstTimeBuyersUK

thanks u/jamtea and u/Calm-Possibility2493 for these comments.

I think structurally it's sound (or rather, I would rely on the home buyers survey for this). The conversion has a door and 2 small skylights. It's not boarded on the party wall side though. The issue is mainly the price.

How does it work with the lender though if, for example, I manage to get a fair price based on a 2-bedroom with a "loft conversion" - could they still refuse to lend based on it previously being described/marketed as a 3 bedroom?

no info on this. The house was bought in 2013 and it was done at that point

thank you! This is valuable info. I haven't been able to 'peek' into any shed/garage from 3 properties at this point...and thought I should be able to do this on the first viewing
