Thanks. I will seal off the door between both bedrooms and complete it as a private single bedroom with a single bed.

lol I don't know why this Woody guy keeps posting in here insisting that it's not a bedroom. No matter what anyone says - it's not a bedroom according to Woody. It's big enough to be a bedroom. It has a window. It's upstairs. It's been valued as a 2 bed home. What is it then - a cupboard the...

exactly. it has 2 bedrooms, the valuer says it has 2 bedroom, the estate agent says it has 2 bedrooms but could only be sold as a 1 bedroom as it has 1 parking space......houses with 2 bedrooms down the road only have 1 parking space but are sold as 2 bed houses. The size of the room is big...

Surely I'll find out if this is the case when I see the deeds?

I have had my mortgage offer through and a valuation took place. On the valuation report they put bedrooms as 2. If a valuer sees it as a 2 bedroom house then surely it can be classed as a 2 bed house. Surely a valuer would know if the door or window or parking, or whatever denies the room from...

The estate agent was saying that you could just knock the whole wall out, but that seems a bit mad, it's more appealing as 2 separate rooms. I need to find out if I can seal that door up. I personally don't need it sealed up when I live there, but I am thinking of when I sell it in the future -...

When I originally looked into why the property was not classed as a 2 bed I thought it might be to do with the window in the room in question. I can't remember what exactly it was about the window (size/the way it opened), I assume size, and this was a possible fire safety issue.... So when I...

I have no idea what you are saying. I know it's officially a 1 bed, where did I say it's officially a 2 bed......I didn't. There's nothing stopping anyone from using the study/dressing room as an extra bedroom though. It's perfectly fine as a single bedroom as it is an ok size and has a window.

But what is mean't by keeping it as a 1 bedroom? I am fine selling on as a '1 bedroom property', but as long as it's fine that there is a 2nd room upstairs that can be used as a bedroom then that's great. I assume there are no rules stopping me from sealing up the door so there is no doorway...

There are 4 of these new builds, 2 have sold. It is marketed as a one bed. The second room upstairs is marketed as a 'dressing room / study'. It has its own door to gain entry, but there is also a door going from the bedroom to this 'dressing room/study'.... I don't know the rules, but maybe...

I have looked at a house marketed as a 1 bed, but it has 2 bedrooms. I asked why it wasn't officially a 2 bed home and was told that it's because the house has only got 1 designated parking space. Is anyone able to confirm whether or not this is true?

It sold, so will be interesting to see if anyone tries to build a property there.

Hopefully. But they'd need to make me a resident first, because to start with I'd be the owner of a commercial premises. It may be possible to get past any issues by either convincing the council I'd be parking elsewhere (a garage) or I'd be getting rid of my car. Anyhow, this is all just...

From what I just read on my local borough's 'Parking Standards', any development with 15 or more dwellings has to stick to standards for off road parking provision, whereas if less than 15 dwellings are being built then it's only seen as advisory. So in my case it is advisory that a 1 bed...

Interestingly I found this property in the next road along. It was an office and got planning permission in 2011 to be turned into a 2 bedroom home. This means that the property would be entitled to 1 parking permit if they have 2 cars as they only have 1 off road parking space. So it's been...

Council got back to me. A parking permit would be granted if this was made into a residential property.

Nice. £600 is a bit much. I contacted the council and they said only residents are entitled to a parking permit. I am now trying to confirm whether I'd get a parking permit or not if I converted it, explaining that I cannot park on the driveway. If the answer is no, which would be...

It would be ridiculous if they didn't like me parking on the street as the owner of a property on the actual street. I am sure anyone living on a street is allowed at least 1 parking permit to park on a street like this that is in a town centre with restricted parking. 90% of the people that...

I did email for a floor plan or at least written measurements.... I just got a reply which basically didn't even say anything. Why do these agents either ignore your emails or ignore your questions when they reply. Aren't they trying to sell these homes/lands/commercial space? Can't they at...

-Yeah, a large opening like that would maybe be over the top, it was just an idea as I'd possibly not have any room for a garden and by that I just mean a place I could put a table and chairs. By having a large open roof you can bring the outside indoors....as long as it's sunny. I'd hate to...
