Selling a non-standard construction bungalow

Before you run away with the idea of a new house you need to check with the planning department of the local authority if they are likely to give you the go ahead. If others in the road have gone through the route of renovating their houses then a new house could be out of character with what they would call the street scene.

Check how much it will cost to renovate the house - google 'Woolaway construction', there seems to be quite a few of these when I have just done. Get quotes on how much it would cost and also valuations from other estate agents on the completed work.

Then get in contact with a Town Planning Consultant who would be able to check the viability of a new house with regarding planning. If they say yes then get an quantity surveyor to do a rough costing for you. Also there could be a time issue on this.

Otherwise you might just want to cut your loses and sell it now without the hassle of the above or rent it - you are in a holiday zone could most probably rent it out through the summer months for quite a bit however watch out for the tax side on that!

I wonder why? It would have been useful to other potential sellers looking for that construction type in the future.
