Hello
I am looking to buy a new property but with the exception that the garage can be converted into a living space with an en suite. I have sent a request to my council for the building regulations approval but the timing of a reply is 5-8 weeks. I don’t really want to lose the property but am unwilling to commit because of the conversion concern. How likely is it that my request will be approved? What are the contributing factors to a disapproval if one was to occur?
The garage is attached to the side of the property with no conflicting issues with the neighbouring property.
Any advice or assurances you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
