Auctioneer's note: It is understood that the property was originally built of pre-fabricated concrete construction, but was upgraded with the provision of thermal insulation along with an external brick skin and added roof insulation in 1990, however, the completion certificate was not issued by the council. A later letter was received from the council in 2004 (see legal pack for copy) stating that "the work was commenced in August 1990, and as far as can be ascertained from our records, was completed in November 1990 and there is no indication or record of any problems or outstanding items". Buyers are likely to need to seek official retrospective confirmation to satisfy future mortgage lenders.
