Have heard from another neighbour that the tenants next door have found out landlord is going to be selling the house they're living in and are planning on putting in an offer so that it won't be put on the market.
They've been there since the start of 2020 but I haven't gotten to know them what with covid and all but from the brief interactions I've had with them I like them and think they'd be good neighbours long term.
My dilemma is that part of what they're proposing to buy is an unauthorised development. It was reported and the owner claimed it was no longer being used as living accomodation, it was and has continued to be. TBH, I hated it and feel uncomfortable that I can see into someones bedroom and vice versa but have learned to live with it.
I have no idea if the tenants know its unauthorised and are ok with that or if they are unaware. As far as I know they do not need a mortgage as they sold a house in a much more affluent area and were only renting as a stop gap, so there would not be as much trouble as if they needed a mortgage but the lack of planning on part of the property may mean they have difficulty selling on.
Should I leave it be and leave it up to their solicitor to flag? I don't want to come across as that horrible NDN going on about planning regulations and make them feel unwelcome but at the same time if I was in their position I think I'd want to know
