A friend built a house about five years ago, due to some bad advice at the time the house was built with some significant differences from the granted planning permission,
The house is at a different angle and about 5 metres away from where it is actually meant to stamd.
The house is bigger than it is meant to be (about 25sq difference)
some small changes in the arrangement of windows.
Other than that the house is as the plans state and to be honest doesn’t look that different unless you were to study the planning applicsyion and compare to the house as it stands. The house is set well back from the road and isn’t visible from any public areas.
what are the implications? Should he apply for retention? Does it make sense to wait until seven years have passed?
He knows he can’t sell it without regularising, but he is newly married and wants to transfer it into both of their names- can this happen With the house as is?
