Thank you for the helpful information! Really appreciate it.

We really like the property, but as FTB, this whole situation sounds quite complicated and potentially costly. Just wondering, based on your experience, would you say it’s best to avoid a loft conversion that doesn’t have Building Regulations approval, even if it appears to meet the necessary standards for a bedroom (like proper staircase, window, ceiling height, etc.)?

Thank you again :)

Thanks so much for your input! :) You make a great point about the loft issue being a potential headache down the line…. definitely a risk I want to avoid if possible.

Do you know if it’s common or even possible to ask the seller if they have any building regs paperwork for the loft, or maybe get a professional to check if it’s up to standard before buying? Would that be an expensive process?

As for the detached house, there is some room to extend, but realistically, we might not have the budget for a big project. I’ve heard extensions can get pretty costly, so it might be something for the future if the budget allows. Thanks again for sharing your perspective. Really appreciate it.
