House sale - planning permissions
Comments

Hi tiggerkid
Are you keeping your EA in the loop? I would be tempted to ask the EA to have a chat with the vendor to try to understand their concerns.
For example, they may be asking their solicitor casual questions without realising the grief it's causing to get answers. (Or they may have a very specific and genuine concern that the conservatory may breach a planning condition, for example.)
I would expect a good EA to get involved in facilitating and progressing the sale in this way.
Hi, thank you for your response. I have spoken with the EA on Friday. He said that the buyers' solicitor recommended they seek these permissions and they are going with his recommendation. I asked him what the concern is and he just said that it's not uncommon to seek planning permissions for properties less than 20 years old and they want to go with their solicitor's recommendation. It sounded like there is no specific concern and I said we won't be willing to fund obtaining planning permissions for the construction of the entire estate and they weren't happy.0 -
How much would it cost to get the planning applications? Is it really worth losing a sale over?0
