I have got myself into a pickle and now need advice. Apologies if this gets a bit long winded. We are in the process of selling our house. We bought it in 1995 and it had already had extentions and a wall knocked through for which planning had been obtained. The year after we moved in we made alterations ourselves for which planning wasn't sought. The alterations we made were to replace a wall that had been removed and remove a different wall, remove a chimney breast and remove an upstairs w.c and partition wall. I should say at this point that it was all done by a qualified tradesman. I have filled in a solicitors questionaire and said the alterations were already done when we bought it (I did this because I was scared of what would happen as we hadn't had planning permission). I regret doing this and now have been asked by the solicitors for any documentation I may have relating to works before we moved in. Before this goes any further I'm hoping to put things right but have no idea of the consequences. What happens when I come clean?(no idea what I'd say at this point) and if I didn't, would I be committing a serious offence? And will the solicitors be able to see from past planning applications that the internal layout is different from when we moved in?
I'm very worried about all this now, I know what not to do in the future but dont know how to handle this now.
