Loft conversion, not sure when it was done

I am selling my house that I bought over 10 years ago. I had a valuation report done then and have a mortgage as a 2 bed house.
My buyer has apparently decided that she needs evidence of when the loft conversion was done but I don't know? I would assume if this info was needed it would have been in my valuation when I bought the house (all the paperwork is with my solicitor who is a bit slow!) However as it has been there for 10 years I'm assuming that even if it was done without planning regs they wouldn't pull it down now? I'm worried that the buyer is going to try and knock the price down on us, but would we be able to buy indemnity insurance to cover it?

Don't move on this vj, the date of the loft conversion is not your problem, just say you don't know and the asking price reflects the property as seen.

This could be a red flag regarding this potential buyer?

Tell them it was done in 1972 or something pre building regs so you don't need them.
