What are the legal requirements when building an extension to my home? And how much approximately should I budget for this?
There are a number of factors to consider when building any new extension, first and foremost there are planning implications to consider which will require the client to liaise with the local council. There are matters to consider regarding party wall and we can help appoint an appropriate surveyor, the purpose of this is to protect you from any structural defects that may occur with neighbouring properties. Finally there is the consideration of design and again we can help point you in the right direction of suitable architects. It is difficult to estimate how much this may cost in professional fees but we can accurately estimate this after an initial consultation with you.
