    Only when one sold or lease extended?

    That is how I understand it. Not such a good deal for the neighbours?

  • Will any part of the extended property be below or above someone else's property? If so you have a a flying/creeping freehold.

    As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.

    Why planning permission? The rooms did at one stage belong to our property, the original partition wall is still there, just seperated by stud walls from our property?

    My parents did something similar, and needed planning permission, buildings regs, and listed building consent to boot.
