Thanks. I'm not really concerned about being 'punished', though I get what you're saying. My concern is that any new plans would be treated as a new application, rather than based on an approved/permitted structure. I've spoken at length to the adjoining neighbours about the buildings and...

Thanks for the advice. It being only a 4 year time limit, I think it would be pretty easy for us to get signed statements from the neighbours to attest that it has been there over 4 years. I am more concerned with the consequences if we wished to alter the buildings. At the moment the car...

I've discovered that the house we're buying does not have planning permission for a car port and brick shed built about 20 years ago. We know that in 1992, the owners applied and were granted planning permission for a detached garage next to their existing garage to the side elevation of...

Spot on denso13. Tried swapping the head out and that worked, so contacted the manufacturer (myson), got the product code and ordered a couple online for £10 each. Thanks again denso13.

There's one bedroom radiator that's always on when the heating is on. It didn't always do this, it started the end of last winter and because we didn't need the heating anymore, we left it until now to fix. Turning the radiator control down doesn't do anything and I'm pretty sure it was...

our house is 6 years old. when we bought it a few months ago, we knew that a few windows were 'sticking' but now more and more are failing in the same way. the lower bolt does not lift (the upper one always works). i've taken one apart and found that the piece of the gearbox that lifts the...

The estate agent is okay, it was just the end of the day and she had to get back to the office to close up. I think she had a date because we saw her later in the restaurant she recommended. She said that we're welcome to have another viewing and she was fine when we went round the upstairs...

Wow, thanks mikric, you're spot on. There is a gas fireplace at this end of the building and when I checked the overhead pics on googlemaps I can see a small exhaust vent directly above the pipe you noticed in the loft. I didn't get close to the wall because of the sea of insulation and...

Went for a 2nd viewing of a house we like. Went into the loft and noticed some cracks in one of the support beams and some missing concrete blocks. Have uploaded some pics. I know nothing about lofts, so hoping someone can give me clue me into what I'm looking at. In particular...
