I built a new house approx 2 years ago.

During the build I changed internal walls etc which I believe isn't an issue (from a 3 bed to a 5 bed)

However I also moved one roof light from the side to the rear and added a second roof light also to the rear.

No one has noticed / cared and I've got the Completion Cert. etc

I'm now selling and wondering if I will have an issue - as they are both facing over my rear garden I'm aware I don't need planning for them but I do need Building Regs - whilst the house has been signed off for Building Regs at the time they weren't on the Planning Application so technically I didn't have the PD Rights to install them at the time.

Will anyone care ?

Thanks.

I can see it from both perspectives - I'll wait and see.

The main thing is that I don't want to lose a buyer later but I have had all the work inspected and whilst it didn't meet Planning Regs when built (as I changed it) - it does now it's complete (as I can do it under PD).
