Oops sorry, the property that we would like to buy is on left. My bad.. i mention right by mistake in the one of post above.

Durhamplumber, yes but we would like to convert the garage (left wall in images) and possibly do two floor extension as well. This will be an issue then.

Hi All, Some updates, I got reply from agent saying below, " The vendor has spoken to the next door neighbor and looked at the position of the boiler. The vent has been there since the house was built in 1998, which is very clear from the installation and the fact that he has exactly the...

Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback, criticism and suggestions. I have sent an email to agent requesting details on the flue and gutter situation from seller. we are hopping for the best. I shall update you on this forum.

I'm in the process of buying a property. The legal process is currently going on. Neighbor was doing the two floor extension over their garage when we put the offer for buying the property next to them (left side). We just went for the second viewing recently and noticed that their extension has...
