I am buying a detached bungalow in Gloucester. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal work on the property involve enquiries to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Gloucester will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
