I have bought a 3 bed property which have had a loft conversion done so within theory it is a 4 bed but the general public who did it did not get building regs for it. Is this something I can apply for since I sell to formulate it officially a 4 bedroom or even worse if I do this can they receive me put it back to how it be. A velux window have also been put surrounded by which I'm pretty sure needs planning consent.

How long ago were the change made (4-y- rule and 10-y-rule)
Building regs are about maintain structural integrity and fire safety. Could cost thousands or practically nought to make the loft a 'habitable' room.
