    Retrospective Building Control Approval - 2x Internal Walls

    - I am purchasing a 3-bed semi-detached house built in the 1930s. - Two internal walls have been removed. (i) Kitchen to Dining room (ii) Dining room to living room - One of the walls is load-bearing. - Sellers do not have Completion Certificates or any form of Building Approval, or any knowledge of when work(s) was done, but the latest one was done over 1.5 years ago. Q. As the buyer, upon transfer of property, what tradespeople do I need in order to secure Retrospective Building Approval? Also, what are the estimated costs for this?
