• Indemnity Insurance

    By Guest on 27th Jun 2019

    Buying a house with a loft conversion. This had accepted permitted development but rootfridge raised too high on build. A further permitted development applied retrospectively and refused. Council aware and in contact with vendors in 2012 but no enforcement but no solution either! Would an insurance cover this as council are aware?

    Kind regards

    No, indemnity insurance would not usually be valid in this situation.

    Check the terms of the policy but most exclude cases where the council has been informed of the issue.

    If the loft conversion raised the roof ridge height then it does not constitute permitted development. A planning application should have been submitted and that is why the Council objects.
