Moving to Construction and Planning, which seems better suited to this query.

OP your solicitor will advise. This is the sellers problme not yours. Your solicitor would need to check have planning enforcement ever initiated proceedings on the property. Before determining the status of the dwelling i.e. Whether it 'could' be demolished or is non-compliant with planning.
