Hi all, I have an annexe on my property which we gained PP to extend and separate as a new dwelling in 2016. We've finally got around to finishing the building work off after a slow start! Now we want to make it a separate property. I wondered if one of you knowledgable people could advise on the next steps? The lock in period on our mortgage on our main property is due in June and seems an ideal time to separate the land/annexe and just remortgage our main property. We've gone through building regs and all is signed off, what is the best plan of action from here? Is it just to head to local solicitors or do I need something else from the Council before that stage?

Thanks for the help all. It seems from your comments and other research that I don't actually need to do too much at the moment. I am with Santander who are notoriously bad at title splits so may wait until the end of my lock in period to adjusts. I only have a 40% ltv so will try them anyway.

Hi, 1st time poster here so bear with me, i'm not a technical person in the field of planning :) I bought a house with an annexe in 2012. The annexe was converted from a stable/garage in 2005 and had a planning condition to say it had to stay as an ancilliary to the main dwelling. In 2016 I went to a planning workshop and explained I wanted to seperate the annexe in to a seperate dwelling. This was well recieved and I recieved planning permission for change of use from "dwelling annexe to seperate dwelling". My question is, does this planning cancel out the original planning condition or do I also ned to apply to remove the previous condition? I've completed the works and am about to move to the next step and don't want to go to the local council with the incorrect info/incorrect route.
