Makes sense to me. At this stage, I have no idea what each would cost, just looking to get some ideas on what might work for me. Do you think I would have any issues getting planning permission? Also there is a water tap to the right of the french windows as you look at the house from the end...

Hi there, I am looking to extend my two bed end of terrace house. The back garden is on a slight incline, so I am not sure if this could cause an issue? I have no idea about building work at all, just looking to get some ideas or suggestions on what would be best and if I would need permission...

Hi there, I am looking at purchasing a two year old property. There are no outside garden outlets for power, but directly behind the back wall of the house, there is a double power socket. I would like to ideally, get a double power socket to the outside for the mower etc but would also like...

Yes, this was what I was thinking. It all depends on what the council think it is worth. I would laugh my head off if they think it is worth 400k in its current state. The neighbour's who sold for +400k was in a1 perfect condition, with conservatory and new boiler etc. I know the council are...

Thanks, thought it may work out more cost effective to get on property ladder, particularly because of the area in which we live. The difficulty will be that there is a lot of work to be done. I notice that almost all of the neighbours have new roofs too. So the costs will stack up, but the...

Ok thank you. Presumably, that will cost. Any ideas if it is expensive? Just want to get an idea of feasibility.

Here are a couple: Purple boundary line and yellow circle is where I took other pics from:

Hi, I live in Essex and have been looking at potentially using right to buy to purchase my mum's house. She has lived there for years and years so would get the maximum discount. It would all come down to how much the council think the place is worth. Both I and she don't own anywhere, so it...

Hi there, I would really appreciate any help on this. My mum lives in a corner semi-detached house. She has no parking to the rear and has to share parking in a small car park. It is always a complete nightmare with people getting blocked in and vehicles being abandoned. She has a very spacious...

This is Uttlesford, no train line here or anything but we have had several knocks to our cars where we currently are, so would like a drive if possible.

Yes, my thoughts too. The place isn't bad, and I don't want to come across as over-fussy, but prices here in the south east are already really high, once I buy the place, I won't have anything left to spend on wiring, gas boilers etc and I anticipate it will take me a few years to build up a few...

Thanks, that is good to know.

I think it is a pretty poor DIY attempt. Ideally would be looking to get a new wire added to the consumer which does the garage. Any ideas on what sort of money this would cost? The vendor assured me he has an electrical safety certificate but now says he can't find it, and doesn't want to go...

Thanks very much, and thank you for such a quick reply.

Hi there, I am looking at buying my first house and not sure about the wiring for the garage. They appear to have done a DIY job and changed a single plug socket in the lounge into a switch which works the garage power. We want to use the garage for our tumble drier and I am really not convinced...

Hi, I am looking at buying this property as my first house. Never done so before and a little worried about how the guttering has been put behind a new conservatory. Is this normal? I am just worried that if there were a blockage or work needing to be done to the conservatory, we would need to...

I am looking at purchasing a property and have a few concerns about the wiring. I have traced a earth lead coming out of the consumer and going through the kitchen and out to the gas box where it is just hanging loose. Is this ok? There is another earth coming out of the consumer and going onto...

I found out that the model no is: Cooke & Lewis CLGCH60-CR1 - seems you can have it vented or non-vented. Not the best hood in the world. Looks like the refurbishment job on this property is a little on the cheap and cheerful side. The boiler is a HeatLine CaprizPlus 28a. Again, pretty cheap...

Thanks and Happy Christmas! I don't think the street would be as neighbourly as we are used to as there are quite a lot more houses and it is on the edge of a Town. We have already driven back about four times in the evening. Parking is pretty bad, but we have our own drive way for two cars...

Thanks, yes we both really like it. It is the first we could see ourselves living in. Most others were either too dated, and in need of a lot of investment, or brand new, like boxes and closer to 400k with massive council tax bills. The current owner did say he used to use cable so maybe the...
