Haha. She is refusing to get it signed off. Big red flag.

Another little update. I have just got off the phone with Folkestone & Hythe planning, they have told me that all the sellers need to do is to submit an unauthorised works, book a site visit for inspection, if the inspections all pass, then building regulations will be granted. He looked a...

Really appreciate all of your input. I will get back on the phone tomorrow to the council and see what I can find out and highlight what you have all said to my ‘solicitor’

I will give them another call tomorrow and see if I can’t obtain any of that information. Appreciate your help/time

Apologies for leaving that bit out, he was bothered to spend 5mins ringing the BC in fact I was on hold for nearer 30mins before I was able to speak with anyone, before being told that they were unable to discuss or offer any advice of a planning application that was not in my name. I hope that...

Yes true. Would you have any idea what would be required in order to get the certification our lender would require? Also an approx cost and time frame associated?

Really appreciate your time and input. I will go back with this to my solicitor tomorrow. Hopefully the mortgage lenders legal team will forward on the same information. I will keep you updated if interested.

Hi Woody Thanks for you response. To go into a bit more depth, the planning was for a multi-storey development. The developments at ground level have been complete and as far as I can see inline with the submitted planning. The property is a bungalow and still is. No start has been made to...

Hi All I am after some advice if possible. We are midway through the purchase of a new house. However we have now run into a massive obstacle which could jeopardise the purchase. The house we are buying has planning permission approved. This is for both a ground level extension and first...

I will try this tonight and post back the results. Thanks for you help. Appreciated.
