Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations.

Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Stanley conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
