First time flat owner in London

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

Great to join the community. We bought our first flat last year, its a Victorian conversion where we have the ground floor flat with a small garden at the back. Its great to have both quick access to the city but also a garden.

 

We are currently building an extension into the garden to add an extra bedroom and en suite and looking for some help and suggestions with it. You will see me more in the plumbing forums very soon! We are newbies, especially as having moved to UK only few years back, so will be asking lots of novice questions when I cant find the answers through search!

Welcome.

I did this. I converted a one bedroom garden flat into a two bed garden flat. The flat was in the ground floor of a Victorian Terrace. Including the basement below us, we had no less than 5 neighbours affected by our structural works and so had to have 5 party wall agreements, as well as a consent to alter from the freehold company. Absolute nightmare, but we got there in the end and was worthwhile as we increased the value of the property significantly, and now rent it out.
