Building over private drain

[vik2001]

I'm trying to continue a extension now after it turned into a shambles with a rogue builder.

So behind the garage I'm doing a side extension, it had a manhole there only serving my house, not shared. So I believe it's a private drain.
I have a manhole on my driveway also, is there any need for me to move the manhole where my extension is going to the back of the garden, or should I just add a rodding eye?

2. If I ever sell the property because I didn't need a build over agreement due to it being a private drain over the extension, will it cause me issues? Will I need to get indemnity?

I had similar and building inspector guided.

Don't you have building control?

Who would you be getting the build over agreement from ? It’s your drain

Sums up private inspectors. LA inspectors are better, but you do need to have a rapport going with them first, before you start with the questions. The last thing any of them want to do is babysit DIYers through their projects.
