Removing internal wall

[Deb2202]

Hi, we removed an internal wall between the seperate wc and bathroom a little while ago to create a bigger bathroom. At the time I checked with the council and we didn't need planning permission or building regs or anything.

We are thinking of moving and in a previous move I remember something about our houses layout not matching the plans the solicitor had as someone had moved a wall at some point to make the bedrooms bigger and it causing a issue.

So does anyone know if we need to inform someone we've removed the wall? Is it the land registry? I thought all they were interested in was boundary lines. I've tried google but it's a bit confusing

You only need to inform building regulations (& get sign off) if it is a structural wall. This is to make sure the work is structurally safe.
If it's not a load bearing wall you don't need to inform anybody.
However don't make the classic mistake that assumes timber stud wall = non bearing / brick = structural. You can get timber stud structural Walls and brick nonloadbearing.
The only other circumstances that require notification apply to listed buildings where you need to get consent prior to doing work.
So as long as you are sure it's wasn't a loadbearing wall and yours isn't a listed building then there isn't anything to worry about.
The land registry only holds records of title and therefore only holds site plans of your property not detailed internal plans.
The only place detailed plans of your house are likely to be in record are if you had to obtain planning permission or building regulations for work done to your property.

Thanks wonky, I'm sure it wasn't load bearing as the builder was up in the attic and pulling carpets up checking beams etc.

I think the solicitor last time must of been ripping us off! Said the room sizes on the estate agent details didn't match the plans and charged us 200 quid for an insurance policy for the new buyer!

Solicitor advice sounds odd - to me that just says EA got the sizes wrong or the plans weren't quite right (EA plans are often done from quick measurements with cheap laser measure and are therefore quite inaccurate)
