Hi, I'm looking into moving house and I've found a property which is in need of all round attention (new kitchen,bathroom,carpets, windows etc). The house is a small 4 bed detached (only one double bedroom) with a detached double length garage to the side about 3 or 4 feet away from the property.
I was thinking if I had to redo every thing anyway, maybe I could extend the downstairs out to the garage to make what's now storage space into real rooms & extend the upstairs over the garage to make bedrooms of a decent size.
Now, I have no idea whether this would be allowed or not. Is there a way for me to get something like "approval in principle" before actually buying the house???
It's a bit scary to think that I'll be takign the side of the house off! How does this get done without the whole thing falling down?!
