Hi Guys I'm going through a similar situation at the moment where I've literally just had an offer accepted on a 4 bed terraced house with a loft room. The staircase don't adhere to stair regs. Is there anything I need to be aware of here when undertaking checks before completing purchase?

Any input

I appreciate I will need to pay the 3% surcharge to put a property in to a limited company but e
