Experience of selling a house without planning permission...

[Mycaracas]

I have inherited a property, a terraced house that has had a loft conversion without any planning permission. A small extension too but I think that comes under permitted development.
I've had five estate agents for valuation, four said to just market it as a four bed with converted loft rather than a five and it wouldn't be an issue.
The final one said it might be a problem if a solicitor was 'picky' and I might need to get indemnity insurance.

My other option would be to put my head in the sand and rent it out but I really don't want the hassle and would rather have a lump sum.

Has anyone had any experience of this, TIA

Just wanted to update in case anyone searches for a similar topic.
The house has just sold as a four bed at just below the asking price. I was expecting to have to pay at for indemnity insurance but it didn't come up.
The main issue with selling it as a four bed was that people looking round thought it was too big!

Congratulations, glad it went through ok.

I like it when people return with updates. Congrats on the sale OP.

Well done @Mycaracas.
Glad it all worked out for you.
It gives me hope that I too may move one day despite my dodgy, but lovely, loft room.
