Building Inspection and More

The buyers of the house would like a builder inspection and a LIM report from the local Council.
No problem with any of that, nothing to hide.
So on Sunday they came and did the builder inspection, or more to the point his father came and did a builder's inspection!
So that put us at ease as there was no serious testing done on the place and a visual inspection will pass with flying colours.
Unfortunately I wish the LIM was so easy??
Today they enquired about the consent for when the house was moved back in 2000. Turns out it is not on the LIM, in fact it turns out there is nothing at all on the LIM?
After a little investigating myself I realised the problem.......when we brought the property back in 2002 the house was numbered 205, when we actually moved in 4 months later it was now numbered 205a, this is because we were waiting on the titles to come through where the people had sub divided the plot of land. So that means the LIM we viewed when we bought the house was for 205 not 205a!!
Confused yet?? You will be...
So I have advised them that they need to get back in touch with the local council and ask for a LIM report on 205 but only up until Aug 02, because after that 205 referres to the house in front of us?!

It is the local council's fault, they are the ones that renumbered the houses and caused all the confusion, that has, I can't believe, now lasted for 5 years.

So hopefully by getting info for 205 and sifting through the right parts of it, they will get all the relevant information that they require. We are still not worried and have no fears that anything will show that will make them withdraw, it will just get confusing along the way to get there!
