Greywater soakage regulations

    Hi all, hopefully I'm in the right forum for this question - mods, please feel free to move if I'm wrong.

    Hoping someone here can help answer a question for a noob!

    Gone sale agreed on a single rural house built c.2000. House has public water scheme mains but septic tank for sewerage. My surveyor has brought up that the greywater has been diverted to it's own soakage pit in another area of the land and the council should have given permission for this.

    The vendors are saying this was standard in 2000 when the house was built and that greywater was not supposed to go into the septic tank.

    I've searched online but can't find much on this and what I can find relates to current regulations. If anyone has any expertise in this area and could comment I'd be very grateful. I'm seriously considering pulling out of the deal now as I'm very wary of the possible liabilities of having this system setup incorrectly and the costs of getting it fixed.

    Thanks in advance for any help!
