Hi, just a quick question and some advice would Bev appreciated on this. Steel just added and overlapped the pad into cavity on one side and short on the other. Not by much but wasn’t sure if it could present a problem? A couple of photos attach to illustrate. Thanks

I paid mum £10,000 when we bought the original piece of land that we were refused planning permission on. I am about to pay £10,000 for the additional 3 metre strip of land + the some of the land the existing house sits on where we will incorporate some of the existing accommodation into the new dwelling. This new house could not be built without the land I originally purchased. If we get planning permission I would expect the new house to be worth in the region of £600k and the original house to depreciate in value by about £100k as it would go from a semi to a terraced. I assumed the new piece of land I buy won't have much value because without the original piece I purchased it has no value. Also, can land have value if planning permission hasn't been granted? Thanks

Let me start from the beginning. I'm now worried my mother could be subject to CGT or if there might be any other high tax consequences. My mother owns a semi detached house with a detached single garage to the side. I want to build a new house at the side of hers to live in with my wife and children. Three years ago I bought some land to the side of her house for a nominal amount. The land I bought including her garage and was about 3 metres away from the main house. Once I owned the land I put in a planning application to knock down the garage and build a detached house. This application was refused. Afterwards we put in a planning application for an extension adjoining the existing house. This also involved knocking down the garage. This was approved. Then we put in a pre application to convert the extension and part of the existing house into a separate dwelling. We have a positive response from the planners. I am about to complete on the additional parcel of land I need to allow for the new house. This includes the 3 metres in between the original land I bought three years ago and her main house. It also cuts through her main house as we are using some of the accommodation to incorporate into the new and separate dwelling. When I complete the transfer of part and own the additional land I'll put in my application to separate the dwellings. I hope this explains things more clearly and you understand my question if there would be any tax consequences. Thanks Alex

Yes I have bought the land without any planning permission. I assume this is ok?

Thank you The land is to the side of my mothers house. It involves knocking down a detached garage and we are also taking a part of the existing house and incorporating it into the new build. We are turning a semi detached into a terrace and building a semi? I don't think there would be any tax implications to my mother?

Hi I hope somebody can advise. I have just legally completed on a transfer of part and am about to put in a planning application on the land that I've purchased from my mother to build a new house for me to live in. I have a positive response to a pre application. As It will be a self build I understand I will be exempt from CIL. Ive been advised to have the titles separated before I put in my planning application. My question is should I wait for the title I now own to be registered at land registry (which could take months) before I apply for planning or is legally owning the land enough for me to be exempt any CIL charges. I hope this makes sense. Thank you Alex
