Hi we bought a villa in 2004 and found out last year that it is illegal
It should have been a shop.
The solicitor, estate agent,builder (now bankrupt) were all in cahoots
Solicitor has said he’s not to blame
We feel he is to blame - especially for not submitting approved plans with land registry
He said he is arranging a meeting for everyone to discuss way forward
Planning department, himself,mayor, architect and us
But no sign of this
And we must pay for his errors
Wot should we do please?
Thank u
No building permit

Re: No building permit
Hi rainey and welcome to the forum.
It's not a lawyer's responsibility to submit plans to the Planning Department - it's the developer's responsibility (and your problem has nothing to do with the Land Registry.)
I expect you bought off-plan before the permits were issued? You can check by looking through your contract of sale. I expect it contains a clause along the following lines:

- The vendor hereby declares and warrants that he shall obtain a building permit from the appropriate authorities...
- The vendor undertakes and agrees with the purchasers to carry out the developmenat and construct the property together with all necessary works in accordance with the approved plans...

Re: No building permit
It is possible to apply for a planning permit for a change of use as a villa. Then apply for the building permit.
All retrospective.
Usually permits are easier to obtain when the property has already been built. You will need new plans though. A good architect/civil engineer could do this for you.
