A year or so back, I asked some colleagues what sort of questions
solicitors had asked about conformance to building regs when they
were selling their houses. For that sample size of just two, the
only building regs the solicitors were interested in checking up on
were structural alterations, and underground drainage alterations.
There were no questions about replacement windows, boilers, etc.
I don't know if this is the norm or not.


I think you'll find that there have been some significant amendments to
the BR's within the past year. Revisions to the Approved Documents
typically come into effect on the 1 April.
