I have recently moved into this house where the attic bedroom has been completed long ago without any paperwork whatsoever to indicate building regs. The council has told me (before I bought) to have no records and no interest in this sort of problem whatsoever. How much of a problem is that? I mean surely I will put some insulation up - it's frightening how cold a house gets with no loft insulation. And eventually I will do some reroofing (in maybe three or four years - need to raise the money first). So I think in order to live in the house, I do not need building regs or major work if you like, but in the longer term, with ultimate selling in mind, I would want to do whatever work I do to standards, so that I can get closer to building regs eventually and when I do decide to call out the BCO he won't have that much to complain. In short: where can I find precise indications of the regs regarding loft conversions, and do they apply in my case - house built 19th c. conversion done before 1990.
