Hi all. My father had a holiday home built in a rural area in 2001. It was a bungalow with 4 bedrooms & the end room was to be a garage with an up 'n over type door( facing the road). However this door was subsequently changed to a window & the room became a bedroom. I am not 100% sure if this was done at the time of construction or shortly thereafter. The room is approx 20m squared. There was no other alterations done to this room . My father now wishes to sell this house & is concerned that the change will not be compliant & would hold up any sale. So am wondering if (1) how would I find out if it is compliant (2) should we ignore it (3) would it be difficult for a layperson i.e me to apply for exemption if that was what was required and (4) does the timeframe of the door to window change make any difference to its legal status?
Thank you
