The thread title probably makes no sense and I'm sure the answer to this is tough luck! However...
We are selling our house and our buyer's solicitor has requested we purchase indemnity for a small single storey extension at the back that we think has been there since the 60s. There is no record of planning permission or permitted development. Fine, it's not a big deal but we would obviously rather not spend the money.
I have been going through all the paperwork from when we bought the house as obviously this wasn't raised then. Nothing from our solicitor at the time discusses this or raises it as an issue.
As I said at the beginning of my post I guess it's just tough but do you think we would get anywhere asking our previous solicitors? Could we ask them why they didn't notice the missing planning permission? It was 5 years ago that we bought the house.
