thanks - I have builder, my architect coming out Monday to review. If the view is there is a breach of building regs, what are my options? Sue issuer of the Opinion of Compliance?
ah dont say that, so whats the point of it, if its not to ensure legal compliance?
There's a possibility the foundation could be what's called a strip foundation
(planning permission approved, compliance with building reg etc - only doubt i had was last piece was done 10 years after the build).
Did you get a survey
And that 10 years is the issue here. As pointed out above, the cert you received was an opinion on compliance. There's a big difference between that an a certificate issued on completion of works that is it compliant with the planning granted and the building regs of the day.
Talk to your solicitor, is there any recourse against the person who signed-off on that cert where they didn't check on this?
As for building options, underpinning is expensive. Weigh the costs of that against knocking and re-building the garage section. At least with knocking it you get to add insulation underneath and to the walls to modern standards.
Guessing you mean slab?
No, I would have written slab if that was the case.
