    you now have 1 wall that divides a room in your house and a room in theirs that to me says semi detached

    Detached, to me is, if the headboard is banging against the wall and non of the neighbours can here it then your detached :)

    okay, i am going to go and start worrying about something that hasnt happened yet.

    Is this forum only about the house price crash? - I better ask Martin to delete all none related threads.

    I want to worry about something that has happened.

    So if you anything helpful to say about my question, that would be great.

    Anyone??


    Don't get drawn into the marketing bullsh1t.

    If you like the house and are happy with what you paid for it, that's all that matters.

    Whether it was sold as a "link-detached", or a "town house" or a "mews" property, whatever. It's all bullsh1t.

    Don't worry about it.

    Your a linked detached, they are a linked detached with a garage conversion.

    Wait until your house appears on houseprices.co.uk and see what the land registry classifies it as.

    I don't think the LR does l-d either does it? It's either going to be detached or a semi. Bets anyone?

    Hi

    I just completed today and i have just moved.
    In the past week my neighbour had a garage conversion done.
    Need some advice:

    1) Does this alter the definition of the property - i.e is it still class as a link detached.
    2) Shouldn't my solictor informed myself about any planning application during process of the purchase (i can only assume the neighbour got permission a while back)

    Thanks

    Sorry just noticed the question..

    Read up on the party wall act..the answers will be there...

    Ask your solicitor about the matter. You have just paid him/her a load of money and they should know the answer.

    Sometimes on new builds there are clauses that say you are not allowed to convert your garage to a room. I know my friend was refused permission in her 4 year old Barratt house, but some of her neighbours had already so she was puzzled. All to do with minimum number of parking spaces per house.
