Haha that's given mate ! :lol:

Thanks john, I just noted that from looking at it the colour has gone from yellow in its original form to greyish looking and thought it would all need to come back out and replaced. So can this be left in as it is? And just continue the remaining work for the roof and windows etc? Unless the...

:roll:

We have just exchanged on our first house with a fair amount of outstanding work to be done double storey with lots of internal works to complete , and single extension with no roof on or wall plate etc at present, just basically a foundation with the brickwork and blockwork built up to the...

Haha!! Time waits for no man!! Cheers Robin may look at this option. I still was looking for feedback on my above post in terms of doing things back to front but take on board what you suggest. Cheers

Anyone :roll:

Thanks for explaining that John, you are right that is exactly what I would like to do. I appreciate what you are saying about the building would need to comply at the point when we take the wall down but was thinking that we could at that point just get retrospective regs for it rather than if...

Thanks Richard, No the BCO has just made notes on a site fault letter from his last visit regarding the oustanding works to our project (side extension), and then separately states "the conservatory is deemed exempt from building regulations and wasn't inspected" On his next visit I was...

Hi guys, do these regs/planning for conservatorys apply to all local authorities? Or can a individual authority interpret there own definition of what is deemed as a conservatory or not? I have a single storey structure currently with no roof on or windows in on a property we have just...

Update: everything is now looking ok and we are exchanging after the bank hols :-) With regards to the drains we are putting in a new run on the gable with new SVP, on the gable there is also the down pipe from the guttering rainwater, but currently doesn't drain to a soakaway, can we just...

Sounds like a plan to me haha!! Mums the word and hope for the best! I will let you know and continue this thread once we are against or over the hurdle as so to speak, thanks again.

I appreciate this and know I will have to just wait and see I suppose, with regards to the solicitor i know they also act for the banks interests and with this in mind have tried not to highlight the fact to much with them as scared they will look at this more closely and almost make an issue of...

Thanks, and you are right info tend to over think situations and flap haha!! What you say is what i initially thought and still hope for, but with what you said about the bank using the property as security if we default etc. that's where i started to think would they want to be left with a...

Thanks Freddy, yes just a valuation as we just wanted that which you have stated, a value of the property as it currently stands today. It's just a shame that we can't seem to find out today if we will be ok to get it as it sounds more like a decision will be made once the underwriter get all...

The funny thing is I can't seem to easily find a straight answer on this as when called bank to ask I seem to get the answer of it might be ok or it might not! Surely this should be written somewhere for the lending criteria? Or is it just down to the discretion of the underwriter?

Thanks for your comments Nick, I hope that's all we do have to worry about. With regards to mortgage forms the complete or incomplete state of the house was not a question. We already had the mortgage offer in place from a property before this that we pulled out of for various reasons. So all...

Ok so it's sounds like a 50/50 chance then, gutted if we don't get it as invested a lot of time into getting prices for the work to be finished etc and we really want this place bad! If anyone else has been through same or similar situation I would love to hear how things ended up and if...

Yes I discussed this with the lender and they said it shouldnt be a problem as long as the house was habitable, although this was the lenders call centre staff and sometimes the advice you get from them varies and isn't always accurate!! We went ahead regardless though and took a chance on it...

Thanks for taking time to reply, Yes the price does reflect the current condition of the property, and I know,the works to,date have been inspected and are ok as the seller arranged for a visit from the BCO to call round a few weeks back and inspect it and I have a letter from the BCO to...

Anyone? :(
