Hey All,
My partner and I have just purchased a new house and it needs redecorating and also an extension. There is a small existing extension at the rear, and we would like to add onto this, but still keeping below the area limit beyond which planning permission is required.
This is all new territory for me and I just wonder if anybody has any recommendations for what I should be reading up on in order to best inform myself on the do’s and don’ts, building standards, costs (how do I know I am getting value for money), architects, surveyors etc.
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
